would be kind of neat if hal could recognize a phone signal from a phone line into the back of a computer jack and would answer the phone and give a pre recorded message whatever we put in . ( i know we all have answering machines ) but would still be cool . also maybe hal could say something like , i'll see if (john ) is available right now and who shall i say is calling ? please hold , then hal would say your name two or three times and say you have a phone call from ( and the name the person said was calling earlier would be played (recording ) (this would expecially be good if someone has wireless speakers like i have )then you could hear it even in the basement . )just an idea for what its worth .
