Here's a sample of how I do it.  Sorry it's for DOS.


|Item:Intercom Messages         Type:Phone-Call
Acc:Owner/Owner
| Initial State:Do Not Call                               Backup:No
| Message Item :Work Text 2
| Dial-String  :Intercom All : 35WWPH

|Item:Work Text 2               Type:Text
Acc:User/Maint
| Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
| Text         :Sunday:6:02 PM

These are example items I use with the Bigmouth. The Work Text 2 item has
text crammed in it that will be played over the intercom. All of the text
that gets played must have recordings associated or it will fall back to
voice synth if you are using it. I gave up on synth speech and have recorded
a couple zillion prompts.

Set the Item to CALL and it should use the Phone interface to make the call.
Works great with the Bigmouth.
I wonder if we will ever get the Bigmouth for Windows ?
