Hello again, many thanks for the feedback, very interested in Dean's comments that there could be work in progress else where in the world. Are the other features related to how the personnel directory could be viewable/recordable via web interface? This would seem worthwhile, also it would be good to be able to sync somehow with the gsm handsets that have device voice control as well as various PDA's etc. + through further goggling it seems that Orange offer a network version (wildfire) that would seem to show that it can be done using the gsm codec? Apologies for confusing use of Festival, perhaps that's why my research failed, but seems to me that if the incumbent PTT's/RBOCs get to monopolise this type of service it will give them a chance to slow down the move to VOIP, but it could also have impact on weaning people off mobiles (How many people lazy and thus use gsm phone based phone directory as can't be bothered to extract telephone numbers from directory?) Many thanks Magnus
