Well, this is a feature where your modem picks up the phone, determins if it's data, fax or human, and then if human plays back some digitized message. Eventually prompting the callee to enter some numbers (password or to select features) and then plays back a different message, or lets you record a message. Many companies use this type of phone-answering for tech support and this could be a nice feature for home use also. I know ZyXel is planning to have something ready in October, and they are doing beta-testing now. (Unfortinatly I have no EPROM burner for my Mac or I would do the beta testing too :-( ) BTW: I believe initially they will support Mac and MSDOS. rudi
