I am wondering what the best place is to get automated phone systems/virtual switchboard? So when a client calls they are taken to either a set of voice prompts or touch tone prompts and then based on their response their call is routed to the right person/number/extension.
Thanks
Steven

Well, how many phones/extensions are you looking for?
What is your price limit?
(Ive been searching myself...and Ive seen everything from PC's running custom software with modems installed that do call routing/virtual receptionist work to systems that require business lines and cost thousand of dollars.)

Checkout Virtual PBX... http://www.virtualpbx.com I've heard good things about them.
Personally, I picked up a cybergenie system from Ebay. Best small business system I've seen, and, since they've gone out of business, you can't beat the prices from ebay! :)

Cybergenie is a two inbound line phone system. It uses 2.4ghz handsets, and I believe you can have up to 10 on the system.
It has a built in autoattendent, speech recognition, etc. You can transfer calls between handsets (Extensions), voice dialing, music on hold, etc.
Great little product. Too bad they went under.

I'll give freedomvoice.com a third vote as well. I swear that system seems to be designed around a small - medium size host.
