Hmm...do you have internet access? If so, check out WebFerret. It's a Win95 
program which will hit up a BUNCH of search engines at once. And, it's free. 
Go to www.ferretsoft.com and download the FREEWARE version of their software. 
Then you can search for the appropriate FAX/VOICE software...

Sounds nasty. My suggestion would be to use two separate phone lines..and two 
separate modems. Set one up for FAX/BBS using something like Binkley and 
BGFAX (Bink detects the "connect fax" and shells out to BGFAX, or on a data 
connect would shell to the BBS.) A second VOICE modem would act as your 
voicemail. Doing this under Win95 would probably be your EASIEST solution and 
not nearly as costly as the FaxFone probably...
