You _should_ check out "Voice Gate Technologies", and their VIP-4000 system.
They're the people and product I was thinking of. Stable company, been in
the business for a substantial time.

They do sell complete turn-key solutions if thats what your comfort level
requires.

The 'drop it in your own PC' kit is significantly less expensive, and is
functionally identical.

As for the product itself, all I can say is "it works". Once I got the
system installed, I _never_ had to talk to their tech-support. Everything
worked just as described in the manual -- no "gotcha's", or things that
misbehaved only in specific combination with other thing.

Will,

I believe they started doing this in 5.0a. You can absolutely take
multiple Auto Attendant Options or Extensions into one inbox with ease
within a few clicks and drop down menus. I believe i left you some
options on another post a few minutes ago. Take a look at your options
with AltiGen. Dont switch systems or invest in something else without
taking advantage of what you have right now!

George

I'm no expert, but I'd have thought a (free) Asterisk installation
would do this.

PC wouldn't need to be very highly-specced (you could probably use an
old one).
