I'm not sure about getting this for free. From what I've read with preliminary research on Google, any of the following requires a "call forward on busy" service from your phone provider for them to work (it should cost $1 or $2 per month):

CallWave Internet Answering Machine - Stop missing important calls ($8/month)
Pagoo - Tell Me More ($5/month)
BuzMe - Internet Call Waiting ($15/year)

I don't think you can easily get these services for free, as it might require actively managed network protocols. That comes at a price.

The bottom line? Figure out if you can do this for cheaper than high-speed Internet + similar phone services.

Good luck.
