I should have tried this earlier (so should we all!):
[summer@possum summer]$ locate voice
/etc/mgetty+sendfax/voice.conf
/var/spool/voice
/var/spool/voice/incoming
<snip>
[summer@possum summer]$ rpm -qif /var/spool/voice

Summary : A program for using your modem and mgetty as an answering
machine.
Description :
The mgetty-voice package contains the vgetty system, which enables
mgetty and your modem to support voice capabilities. In simple terms,
vgetty lets your modem act as an answering machine. How well the system
will work depends upon your modem, which may or may not be able to handle
this kind of implementation.
Install mgetty-voice along with mgetty if you'd like to try having your
modem act as an answering machine.

I've not played with it because
