[thelist] Using the computer to answer phone calls

[spinhead]

Don't have the specifics at hand, but our entire company's voicemail (80
emps) is on a PC with 1 hard drive. This is becoming quite common in the US.
We're not even close to using the space. Voice can be compressed quite a bit
and still be usable; we're all used to it already on phone lines which use a
very narrow frequency range.
