I never thought of that... get a bunch of VOIP phones, preferably
wireless and one could implement a pretty neat home phone system.  That
is one of our problems... all our phone messages end up in one voice
mail box and its always full.  

Does SIPWitch handle voicemail ? Will SIPWitch send an email to a user
when it receives a voicemail ?

As you can tell, telecommunications is a bit of a problem around our
house.  I'd love to solve that problem with Linux.
