McNutt, Emma

problem to his wife, Monika, who suggested that he invent a computer so that he and his employees could leave messages for each other. Matthews went to work on the project and founded VMX (Voice Message eXpress) in Dallas, Texas (United States) in 1979. Shortly thereafter, 3M bought the first commercial system, a standalone voice mail system with an interface to the PBX, from which the call was forwarded in the event of a busy or no-answer condition at the user station. Monika Matthews recorded the first greeting on this first commercial system. Note: In 1992, Matthews retired and sold VMX to Octel. Octel subsequently merged with the Enterprise Networks Group of Lucent Technologies, an AT&T spin-off.VMX

and Octel systems are now a product line of Avaya, a Lucent spin-off, which is just as well, as Lucent was acquired by Alcatel, a French company, in 2006. See also voice processor.
