Tim Kay posted a review of the Watson voice mail card. here are two other voice mail boards/systems available for IBM PCs which offer more features at more initial cost... they are aimed more at the small business or entrepeneur... Dialogics: can run 4 lines of voice mail in a PC... features are similar to Watsons. about $1000. they've been reviewed by a few PC trade rags. they offer "ring-start" (standard telephone) hardware only. Brooktrout Technology: can run 6 lines of voice applications in an AT. they will sell you feature-packed voice mail software for $1000, or a package that will let you write your own multitasking voice systems in PASCAL or C under the Concurrent DOS OS. they offer both "ring-start" and DID hardware. each voice board is $750. in Wellesley, Mass.

The current Dialogic product line includes a DID interface for their 4-channel cards. This consists of an external box that sits between their card and the DID trunk. It makes the received digits available to the application via the voice card driver. -- Dave Levenson Westmark, Inc. A node for news. Warren, NJ USA {rutgers | clyde | mtune | ihnp4}!westmark!dave
