Does anyone know of microcomputer-based applications that control
automated telephone information systems?  I'm looking for something
that:

	1.  answers incoming calls,
	2.  plays a recorded set of instructions,
	3.  switches the caller to other instructions or to
	    other phones based on touch-tones,
	4.  transfers to another phone in the absence of 
	    touch-tone input.

Any guidance as to vendors or experiences with such software would be
appreciated.
