The voice interface design is coming along well, and I've started reading over the various TAPI documentations and similar things… I'm still very rusty on all that, but it shouldn't be too hard. You'll have full access to the IM system, both send and receive. There's partial access to the forum system, including posting, and then of course the ability both to post to your own page as well as reading the pages of others.
All of this happens over a voice line. All of it. No special hardware required. You can even call from a payphone. I'll be integrating text messaging, WAP, and email access as well, so no matter where you are, you'll be able to stay in touch. I also am keeping an eye on some of the new IM protocols that are coming out and I'll try and tie into that, which if I'm reading the specs right will allow for decent interoperability between iam.alive, AIM, ICQ, etc.
