I wanted to post this earlier but didn't think of a post that could do it justice. Also wanted to look more into it before I did. Either way, this thread has reinvigorated my interests. Thanks for the heads up Atmosfear and cool link KT. I'd like to make a media center for my dad, and I want to look more into home-brew voicemail system. I think I read in some magazine or an on-line article where you can run your phone line over the internet.
