I was wondering how folks who have implemented non hsphone voicemail and fax solutions have done their implementations?
I just finished a poor-man's FAX server, where I have a script check an incoming email account for messages and then faxes the attachment to the phone number specified in the subject. I also have XP fax service dumping incoming faxes into a directory and a script wakes up every x minutes and emails the attachments to me/wife. So far so good...
I'd like to take the next step and implement a voicemail system as well. There are two main requirements:
1. be able to retrieve messages from any phone in the house
2. use a single line for fax and voicemail (i'd like to dump my current dedicated fax line)
Is this possible without going the route of hs phone/modem? I'm not looking to do any interaction with hs with this setup. I use waf-cid for call tracking and announcements and that's plenty for me...
As always, thanks in advance!
