Linux answering machine

[Chong Yu Meng]

Hi all,

This is probably going to sound like a strange request:

I want to setup a Linux system that can receive phone calls through a
voice modem and Bluetooth headset, but I have no clue where to start.
The reason why I suddenly need to do this is, my wife recently bought a
Plantronics Bluetooth phone that cannot work with my current phone --
its a mechanical design incompatibility between an American product and
a German phone (long story!). Anyway, I've never had much luck with
cordless residential phones, having wasted quite a lot of money on 2
previous phones: one Philips phone with ridiculously short talk time of
20 minutes, and one with speakers that are so soft that nobody who calls
me can hear what I am saying. 

Anyway, all suggestions gladly welcomed !  

Thanks in Advance ! 

Regards,
pascal
