onsider if you would the problem of understanding that which is
sampled at 46K by one of the inexpensive samplers available right
now.  By the time it is compressed, (with the inherent loss of
quality), and accouting for the many different accents (both
regional and linguistic) the voice mail system may be something less
than useful, at the very least requiring a transcript along with the
voice message.  Surely there are better uses for phone time than
transs{erring unintelligable 20 second audio clips!
