Is there any software that allows the mac to be used as an answering machine?

a quick search on version tracker turned up this:

probably overkill (what with all the faxing features) but it might work.

The Mac Built-In Modem cannot do Voice - just data - so any voicemail system will require extra hardware and so will not be freeware.

note that phlink price is high because it also includes hardware to connect to your phoneline.
