In article <997@limbo.Intuitive.Com>, sblair@synoptics.COM (Steven C.
Blair) says:
There are currently 2 systems that I know of that can crossover
voicemail and email on the market. They are not sold as one, but
work together.
1) All-In-One with a ROLM phone system: The voicemail sends a short
mail message to the user <name>. Rudimentary, but functional.
2) CE Software's Quickmail, and Farralon Voice Terminal: work together
as one. You can voicemail someone, or have a copy of a voicemail
appended to an email message.
The time is certainly ripe for some company to come up with something
and get the sucker shipping *now*. But having worked in the areas of
voice synthesis, and computer email strategies, the two are not as
simple as apple pie and ice cream to co-exist in a single system.
