I'm looking for some technical info for a project I'm working on (or
thinking about working on anyway). What I'd like to do is set up a
computer to automatically answer a phone and if it hears a remote beeper
(like those telephone answering machine beepers),perform some preset
actions. The things I need to know are:
1. Would it be possible to use an existing answering machine to do the job.
2. What frequencies do those beepers operate at (just a general idea).
3. Has anyone already tried it?
