PhoneBOT is a powerful software program that turns your PC and dialup modem into a revolutionary telephone answering machine for your home and office. When you receive a phone call, it will announce the call over your PC's speakers and speak the caller ID information. After a configurable number of rings, it will answer for you and prompt the caller to leave a message.

Your PC will then record the message and store it on your computer. It will send you an email (or page you, or send notification to your cell phone) when a new message is recorded and then you can call in to hear your message. You can access the its built-in web server to listen to your messages over the Internet.
