        Delrina (Now owned by Symantec) has a package called "TalkWorks"
that provides all these kinds of telephony features.  It also integrates
very well with their WinFax software (which is, IMO, the best fax software
available).  If you buy WinFax, TalkWorks is only $20 extra.

        However, it didn't work with my 701, nor could I get it to work with
the 701 and my Megahertz 28.8K modem.  It has a very particular list of
modems that are supported--and I'm not sure whether the IBM MWAVE (that's
what's in the 760's, isn't it?) is.  The modem in question must be
voice-enabled (which is why my MHz card didn't work--as for the 701's
built-in telephony, it simply didn't recognize the hardware).
