Wrong. You can have a voice modem with no speakerphone functionality. The
answerphone functionality doesn't require built-in mic/speakers
connectors.

No, they are (well sort of). The software receives voice data through the
serial port, re-formats them and routes them to the soundcard and vice
versa. That's how a non-speakerphone voice modem can work as an
answerphone. I am still trying to understand why that 'internal
connection' can't be used in real time to achieve speakerphone emulation.
I don't know any software, Talkworks or other, doing this.
