Slot Loading iMac Modem?

[AxsDeny]

So I'm trying to create an answering machine style machine out of my old slot loading iMac DV. It has the integrated modem, but I'm not sure if it is a datamodem AND a voicemodem. Does anyone know the specs on the 400Mhz iMac DV (1999) internal modem?

Yes, it will work just fine... however just buy a $5.00 answering machine at walmart and you'll probably save 20 dollars a year on electricity.

Do you have any documentation or specification URLs to verifiy this info? I don't want to go to the trouble of writing parts of this application if it isn't going to work.

Also... a five dollar answering machine won't have multiple mailboxes, mp3 my messages, email or IM me when a message is left, and post the message to an internal webserver.

I've used both megaphone and coma on my special edition imac dv 400 for about 3 years and they work fine. Here is the link to megaphoneco... don't remember coma site but should be under versiontracker.

I'm looking at OS X solutions. My current focus is VOCP. From my initial research, all of this should work just fine based on on vgetty and a perl installation.

Are there any other OS X native voicemail style apps out there?
