   If anyone out there is hankering to have one, a DEC PRO telephone Voice Unit is on Ebay right now.

Of course... :-(

Anyway, I just realized/remembered that I'm not sure if the PRO was ever 
mentioned in the context of PDP-11 with graphics and sound.
The PRO obviously always have grahpics. But there was also a sound 
option to it, which could interface with telephone systems. Not sure 
exactly how capable it was, but I have some blurb in a handbook somewhere.
