I'm talking about a fancy phone answering machine where the phone
does not support modem voice commands. The application will accept
an incoming phone call on one of up to 16 phones and start an
application that stores the incoming voice into a WAV file.

The phone will generate an analogue signal, because the D/A step
accounts for an important part of the quality of the final voice, so
it will have to connect to a sound cards inputs. 

Ideally we would use an artificial ear, but then we would not be able
place it into a 19" rack because of all the background noise.

I hope so. The fancy part is the voice quality assessment.
