We use FreeBSD boxes as mail gateways, desktop workstations etc... Right now we are setting up a Multicast network internally for communications between serveral divisions scattered around the Pentagon. I anticipate using FreeBSD boxes with GUS cards, mic's etc.... to put out in the user areas for commo among the offices. They are a wonderfully cheap solution for this type of stuff. I would be very interested in setting them up as fax/answering systems that could record mail messages and let the user play them back on their SUN/FreeBSD mime capable workstation. Is this far-fetched or even possible? I seem to remember Amancio posting something like this a while back. > Okay, is not rocket science ...
