I'm curious about what kind of gear I would need to have my PC answer
the phone for me.  Can anyone point me to a vendor or mail-order shop
which would have such a thing?  I can do whatever programming is
needed but I'm not adept at hardware hacking.

Desired features would be:
	* send voice greeting (hopefully my voice, not a chip voice)
	* read incoming voice messages to memory/disk
	* recognize a data call and connect via my modem
	* receive Caller ID if available

Thanks for any ideas ...
