Even when I used a bigmouth I NEVER used local sessions. Can't be bothered
with blasted buttons - automation is supposed to be just that - automated.
We currently play the messages back through the paging setup - or through
the "Casper channel" on TV. I have the other channel of my SoundBlaster
routed to the video modulator that is piped through the house.
We don't miss the bigmouth at all.

aside from stability issues (my ecs DOS machine has NEVER locked up)
i just can't see how anyone can give up their bigmouth card. am i
wrong, but don't you have to play recordings made with the ECS
supported voice modems over the phone? the wife would never go for
that (heck, me neither...). Don't even get me started with local
phone sessions...

i'm sticking with ECS DOS until that whole set of issues gets worked
out as cleanly as the bigmouth handles them now...
