2.6.3. Phone Answering Machine
 Configure your SUSE Linux system to function as a telephone answering machine with Network Devices+Phone Answering Machine. Configure it for one or more users, but each user must have a unique telephone number. When adding or editing users, configure the username, telephone numbers, delay, duration, and desired action. Assign a PIN (personal identification number) to provide the user with remote access to the machine.
Unquote.

There is NO setup help to describe missing functionality. This is logical.
