I have used vgetty (and in particular Perl scripts running under the 
provided vm program) to have my home machine call my cellhpone through 
its serial modem and play back pre-recorded messages. Look at 
/usr/ports/comms/mgetty+sendfax and in particular at voice/vm.  In 
theory, you could also use a PBX program, like Asterisk, but I haven't 
any experience in interfacing Asterisk with a serial modem.
