The FaxWorks for Windows works well under OS/2, from my experience.
but, as far as pure OS/2 software goes, there is not much in the way
of answering machines. Several people claim to be working on it, and
one or two companies sell some stuff that is rather expensive
(corporate market). I am waiting excitedlt for a good fax/data/voice
program for OS/2, or a simple software switcher, as there are good fax
and data packages already.
