Aha, this wasn't here before, its saying illegal sampling rate and compression
method. Here, let me paste

04/17 14:50:57 yS1  wfr: waiting for ``RING''
04/17 14:51:00 yS1  reading ring_type ring configuration from config
04/17 14:51:01 yS1  playing voice file /var/spool/voice/messages/gre
04/17 14:51:01 yS1  US Robotics: Illegal sample rate (16000)
04/17 14:51:01 yS1  vgetty: Illegal compression method
04/17 14:51:01 yS1  vgetty: Could not play greeting message
04/17 14:51:03 yS1  recording voice file /var/spool/voice/incoming/v
04/17 14:51:05 yS1  closing voice modem device
04/17 14:51:05 ##### message keep, length=00:00:01, name='', caller=

I have a US.Robotics 33.6 Fax/Voice modem, what compression method should I use,
and HOW do I change the sampling rate (what program)?
I have been converting WAV files to RMD files. (WAV files have come from mbrola
(voice synth. thingy))

Any help greatly appreciated
I am aiming to eventually getting it to read out the slashdot news items when i
dial into my computer, and perhaps also have some
interactivity with my computer aswell.
Thanks
