“A hands-on guide to setting up your Linux box as an
answering machine.“
“This article tells you how to set up your Linux box as an
answering machine. Please read it carefully and modify the lines
where needed. Be careful when working as root, and take care to
make backup copies of any file before editing it, so that you can
restore it back to the previous state in case something doesn’t
work.”
“You’ll need the following to get started:
- A working phone line
- A data-fax-voice modem-internal or external-working in
Linux, - A microphone to record the greeting message, and
- vgetty installed.”
