And I got SuperVoice. Infact it does all that I want. But it only allows
its own internal small textual BBS system for that. This is only ideal when
I have a small friends' group....but not for a public BBS!

I hope we could have such a great facility here in India. :-(
Here we get a hardware device called the FaxFone. It it attatched to the
phone line, and it detects whether it is a Fax/Data call, and transfers it
to computer, otherwise it rings the phone.
But such a device is too expensive for me to buy from my pocket money! :-(
