I kinda want to do this, but I don't have a good set of tools to connect a voice engine directly to my phone line... :(

@boomzilla that's amazing. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard while listening to telemarketers.

Oh man, need to listen to voice clips when I get home!

I haven't checked what kind of script the bot uses and what exactly you need to do on the computer side, but it shouldn't be that hard. Then again, I have no idea what home phone line infrastructure looks like in the US...

Analog probably. Analog home lines are terrible to work with, often because only the last miles are still truly analog. I have a fixed phone through my cable company. It's VoIP up until the connector box. That one has an analog output.
Unless he's using some service to deliver it at as VoIP.

Same here. Hate that shit. We have one client where we literally have this set up:
T-Com <-- SIP --> T-Com's router <-- SIP --> T-Com's ATA <-- POTS --> Our ATA <-- SIP --> Our PBX
Because fuck forbid they just give the client SIP for the same price...
