Nice! I used to do that... back in the day (early 2000s) we used Acculab and Dialogic cards. I assume most, if not all of it is done with VOIP systems now, right? Or do people still do this through analog cards?

Yeah, I loved that stuff. We usually had a terminal, or we'd use IBM Reflections. I kind of punched out of it and went my own way with Delphi and C++ at the time... when layoff time came, I was pretty much the only one left because I learned the newer language. Then... the new management threw out all the new stuff, and hired back some of the old programmers again, but mostly just got new guys... even though everyone in the MUMPS community pretty much knows eachother.
It's a really weird group... seriously. Everyone knows everyone, and there's literally fewer than 100 of us. There's really only 3 or 4 ways to get out of Mumps:
1 - Sex change (there are four of us that have gotten sex changes)
2 - Join a Carnival or Circus (there have been three MUMPS people who quit their jobs to become carnies)
3 - Become an alcoholic and hopefully lose your job.
4 - Die from old age or boredom.
I am not exactly sure which one I am... but I snuck out of it... but the magnetism is strong... I still think about it a lot, even though I hate it. I'm always showing my other programmer buddies how in one system we developed for, every command was shortened to a single character, and stuffed into 64 byte blocks...
Here is a piece of legacy code from the VA that's no longer in use:
