Abstract

People who work at an office or home could use more efficient telephone systems. A popular device to help people with telephone communications is the answering machine. However, popular answering machines can only provide generic messaging to all callers. It was proposed to program a personal computer to be an Intelligent Answering Machine that would play selected messages to certain callers using Caller ID to determine different callers. Using funds provided by the Office of Research and Creative Work, a Digital Signal Processor computer add-in board, the IBM Mwave, was purchased along with its development software to provide a basis for the answering machine.
