Ken, Currently, there is only one modem for the Amiga I know of that will do everything you want: Voice-Mail (& caller ID) Fax upgradeable to V.Fast (or whatever it's called) It is the Zyxel U-1946E. It's not cheap, but it is probably one of the very best modems available anywhere. I use a Practical Peripherals PM14400FXSA, which is terrific, but does not at this time support the voice functions you seek. It does, however, support Class 1 & class 2 FAX software (GPFax s/w costs around $50) They also sell a model PM14400FXMT which is a very good value… retailing at just over $200. If I wanted to add voice-mail to my system, I would probably take a look at the GVP PhonePak… GVP has a support section in the AmigaVendor Forum (GO AMIGAV) and you can ask for information there. Supra has a 14.4 fax-modem that comes bundled with GPFax, and repotedly will eventually support caller ID and voice-mail, but I have no experience with Supra modems. Lastly, the latest issue of Computer Shopper has a review of "ten 14.4 modems under $200) and the Zoom model ZUFX-v.32bis ranked tops. This, like the PPI unit I have, does not support voice-mail, but the price is right.
