TKVOICE  completely  replaces  xvoicetool.   It   incorporates   wavplay
tools to let you record your "outgoing greeting" and play your  messages
through your sound card. Recent enhancements include support for viewing
facsimles (FAX Viewing Support).

This  program  will  always work  regardless  of what window manager you
decide to run  (ie/ KDE or GNOME) as  this  sort of application does not
seem to have a high priority with these two popular window managers.
