Mgetty can do that as well, but if you are going to have users coming "in" 
via a PPP connection, they would mostlikley be using a "browser"
to interface 
to the world at large, and expecting the BBS to be "compatable".

Vgetty, which is part of the full mgetty package handles voice, tho I have 
never bothered, not had a need to.
