I used to have an answering machine on my "movie hotline" number but a few years ago I switched my telephone service from the telephone company to the cable company and they include voicemail with the service at no extra cost. So now I don't have any answering machines at all.
When I had one, it was one of the $24.95 specials from the local hardware store, usually a GE brand as I recall.
However: I do some computer consulting as a sideline and several years ago I set up a custom multi-line answering machine fax machine for a business that, among other things, sorts their incoming voice messages and faxes and archives and emails them to various departments as needed. I've always thought that something similar to this would be useful for my theatre too, where you could press 1 for what's playing, 2 for admission prices and so on. But since I have "free" voicemail it's not currently worthwhile to set up.
However, if you want to look at a solution like this there are two options, depending on how many features you want the system to have. If you just want the basic answering machine, look at mgetty/vgetty. If you want a more full-features setup, lookk at Asterisk.
