Speaking of stuff like that, I have only one modem that I can recall
mentioning such capabilities. And it had a couple of audio jacks on the back
of it in addition to the usual stuff. Weird little unit, a "Maxtech
Netpacer Pro" if I'm remembering right, I couldn't find much on it the last
time I searched.
That was my way to do dialup for a while here until it got weird after a
storm. Now no matter what input you give it on the serial port side it comes
back saying "boot>". My guess on this is that the writable storage in it got
trashed somehow, but other than that I don't know. Suggestions as to how I
might deal with this welcomed, either on or off list.

I am looking for a DOS program to turn my computer into an answering
machine.

You may find that many DOS modem programs are tied to a given
manufacturer's modem. One I can remember was VoiceConnect for Zyxel
modems. At least one version ran under MS-DOS.
I'll dig around and see if I can find any more. But even Windoze 3.1 will
give you vastly more choices in software.
