    I think hylafax has something of that, I read about it on the manual, but
    never tried. My modem doesn't have that capability, as far as I know. And
    perhaps ISDN is needed (to digitize the voice). Have a look at:

    /srv/www/htdocs/hylafax/Modems/ZyXEL/voice.html
    or
    /usr/share/doc/packages/hylafax/html/Modems/ZyXEL/voice.html

       "Voice capability means the modem can digitize the incoming voice
       message for the computer to store and forward. It also means the modem
       can playback the recorded digitized voice either off-line for local
       message listening or on-line for message announcement."

    Ah, I found it. Use a modem terminal program (like minicom) and issue the
    command "AT+FCLASS=?". I see:

    at+fclass=?
    0,1,2.0

    OK

    That is the list of permitted modes; these are the definitions:

      mode = 0 (Default), Data mode.
      mode = 2, Class 2 Fax mode.
      mode = 2.0, Class 2.0 Fax mode.
      mode = 6, ZFax mode.
      mode = 8, Voice mode.

    So, mine has not voice capabilities.

    Some modems have mic/ear jacks. These can be connected to the soundcard,
    and the two be used as an answering machine. I remember seeing, time ago,
    software for this in dos and windows, but I'm unsure in Linux.
