As I mentioned in my last mail, though - surely this is more of an
issue for real time voice, like a phone call, rather than store-and-forward
as for voicemail?
If you are working with low bandwidth clients, I see no reason why
you couldn't offer a voicemail listen page (say, in a webmail type
situation) that sends the data in a more compressed format - has
there been any studies done on how many of those low-bandwidth users
will actually be pulling their email down to their local PCs, versus
leaving it on a webmail service (hotmail, or whatever)?
