Cat,
Open the link quoted in your initial mail:
http://www.usr-emea.com/support/s-prod-template.asp?loc=emea&prod=5630
Read everything about this modem, you won't find the word "Voice".
Next, "Click for more product images", and carefully examine "What's in
the box": find the word "Voice". I failed.
Believe me that I did **much** more research on the USRobotics site (40
minutes **only**) to try to find any indication that this is a VOICE
modem: failure. The word "Voice" is not found. I thus believe that this
simply is NOT a voice modem.
Now open http://www.google.com
Ask for voice modem
Use the first suggestion [ http://www.modemsite.com/56k/voice.asp ] to
read what is a voice modem.
Then use the second suggestion [ http://www.nch.com.au/ivm/modems.html ]
You will be interested by "Recommended Voice Modems".
It will then be time to answer yourself to your query: non-voice modems
cannot be used as a answering machines, as the last page quoted explains.
Reading is the best way to learn - so far.

Cat,
Since it is an external serial port modem, the Linux drivers will
serve for basic COMM functions. Personally I have no way of assessing
whether the Voice support is in some hardware chip, or alternatively,
in some additional software which may only be effective under
Microsoft.
Others may know more.

modem. Do
I have to have a 'Voice' modem to use vgetty and VOCP to make an
answerphone service? Everything I've read seems rather vague. Do 'Voice'
modems just have higher quaility audio compression options or something
like that?
