Speaking of WIndows Phone, so you like retro stuff huh ? You know about Windows Phone but, do you know of Microsoft Phone ?

Microsoft Phone was an application for Windows 95 that came with Creative Modems. It was a voice mail program (OEM with a Voice Modem), very simple to use but, it could be as complex as you wanted, dropped new voice messages into your email program and you could do crazy complex menus if you wanted (press 1 for blah, press 2 for blah blah, etc).
Loved the Program, it uses TAPI in Windows, it still worked under Windows 7 32 bit with a few minor issues (wont run in 64 bit), I still have the CD sitting right here
I think I have a 32bit VM of Windows 10, should try it for a LOL...It is 16bit so it might not run..
Thank you for the reminder of Microsoft Phone......as I totally forgot I have a copy of what it became in Windows 98SE
3Com and Microsoft teamed up to give people a way to network in the home and share one internet connection, without a router for under $100
HomeClick

As your home is already wired with phone line and outlets, this adds a Network card to a PC and plugged into a standard phone jack.
So you could have 1 computer serve the internet to other computers in the house and still use the phone line to make and get calls.
That Windows 95 Microsoft Phone got a redo and became almost switchboard like, as each computer was it's own extension. As we had 3 Adults and 3 kids in the house and only 1 phone line, callers were greeted by Microsoft Phone and directed to whom they wished to talk to or leave a message for.
You know I bet this gear would still work under Windows 7 LOL
