I am glad to know that my assumption about the people on this list was 
correct. - Unfortunately Heyu and Heyu2 will not work for me (I have the 
Firecracker PC Module), but most importantly it won't do the part with the 
phone. That is the most important part for me. I can log onto my computer 
from anywhere there is a available WiFi connection with my PDA, but with my 
cell phone (or even a pay phone) I could call from anywhere. I have heard 
about Linux computer based answering machines, that will effectively give 
you voicemail. It seems to me that any computer can discern one touch-tone 
from another. So why can't I use specific tones to run specific commands. 
-(this is one of the few times I wished I had chosen computer engineering 
over mechanical engineering)- Surely some one has thought of this before. 
Thanks for the replies, and keep 'em coming. -Mat
