I wrote some stuff in Turbo Pascal for DOS to do something like this (albeit it didn't email files-- it just dumped them into a directory on the disk). My parents had two phone lines so making test calls from a real phone was easy. I just had to go around the house and turn off the ringers on all the phones so I wouldn't wake anybody doing test calls in the wee morning hours.

I didn't understand the sample format so all my playback was via the phone handset. I was in over my head, at that time, when it came to grokking audio codecs.

My grand vision was to make some kind of voice-based bulletin board system.
