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. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
