Pros
It announces incoming calls and takes a message if your unavailable. It has lots a nice features like custom responses for individual callers, email notification of messages and the ability to check messages over the net. Its faily easy to set and, and if desired, customize the interface.
Cons
One MAJOR issue is that it doesnt announce that you have messages waiting. This is a serios flaw. Also the address book is a bit weak.
Summary
A fantastic answering machine app

Pros
I have never felt inspired to write a review until now. Thephonebot is without a doubt the best telephone answering machine software out there for your PC. The remote client is nothing short of amazing so is being able to listen to my voicemail from a web browser. I have been a user since version 2 and it just keeps getting better! the latest version added RSS feed support which i quite like as well. kudos to the authors
Cons
once i needed fax support which it doesnt have... once.

Summary
It goes through the process until it calls for "pbtray.exe -j" and there it sits. Looks like a great product, but can't make it to First Base.
Good features, very stable, but a little resource hungry

Never realized I needed this type of application until I tried it. Works well and has a Trillian plugin also. Only complaint is that RAM usage seems to be a little high (~15MB)
What an answering machine!

This app is really great for my home server! I like the custom greetings and checking voicemail over the internet- great idea! Braindead install if you have your modem already installed- click setup and 1 minute later you have a dialog telling you its waiting to answer a call!
