I am looking at buying a modem with voice support for my FreeBSD 2.1.5
system. The Creative Labs PhoneBlaster looks like quite a nice
package, and the pricing in South Africa is pretty good.

Before I buy one, though, I was wondering if anyone is using a
PhoneBlaster with FreeBSD, and if so, how well it works.

I am also interested in programming the thing, and in using it for
intelligent voicemail. I would be interested in knowing if the
PhoneBlaster works with something like vgetty, and any experiences
that people have had with programming it.

Thanks for any info,
Peter
