I have made an autoanswer, full digital answering machine with DTMF menus, etc,
If you own a Mimetics Joystick digitizer, and don't mind interfacing to your  
parallel port, I can offer you a mail message on how I did this.  The hardest 
part was figuring out how to read the joystick sampler, once I did that, the
rest just kind of fell into place.  It works quite well, very good quality 
speech, but tends to be a memory hog.  Anyway,  just let me know, and good 
luck.  Mike...
