Octel Communications, which makes the Aspen voice mail system, has been working on this problem. I don't know if they are selling it yet, but you could call them and ask. Their number is (408) 942-6500. Their address is 890 Tasman Drive, Milpitas, CA (I don't remember the zip!). -- Larry Blair lmb@sat.com {apple,decwrl}!sat!lmb

On the other hand, some people feel that they have gotten bona fide deals from DAK. For example, their stereo graphic equalizer that has been on a $149 closeout for years now. BSR couldn't sell them, but DAK could and keeps ordering more. I bought one back around 1986 and have no complaints so far. I have also bought other things from DAK. I have only had a problem once and they took care of it to my satisfaction. Your mileage may vary, as Peter's obviously has. I have no connection with DAK other than being a satisfied customer. The modem/FAX/voicemail thingie that DAK is now selling appears to be very similar to another product currently on the market called "The Complete PC." I have not used or seen DAK's offering up close so I can't be certain. One caveat that you should be aware of in these multi-function telecomm cards is that the supplied software often assumes that you will be using all 3 functions at some time and can be rather inflexible about letting you set things up the way you want. If all you want is voicemail on your PC, check out Watson or Bigmouth. At least one software company has come out with a voicemail package for 386 PCs running Interactive and/or SCO Unix. I have considered writing a Unix driver and simple application toolkit for the Watson card. If you want info on Unix voicemail, send me some e-mail and I will dig up the info for you. On my Unix system I have no need for a 2400 baud modem (I have a Telebit T2500), and I have no current need for online FAX. Voicemail on Unix would be real nice though and it should be pretty easy to write something to notify your regular e-mail box when something arrives in your voicemail box... Unless, of course, you already have a multi-media e-mail package like the one on NeXT. >-- >Peter da Silva; Ferranti International Controls Corporation; +1 713 274 5180; >Sugar Land, TX 77487-5012; `-_-' "Have you hugged your wolf, today?" -- Kevin L.
