[Asterisk-doc] Searching for Voicemail Setup Instructions

[Gregory S. Youngblood]

Hello,

I just installed Asterisk (1.0-RC1) for the first time. I have it
configured to use the LineJack in my system. I believe it is working, as I
hear a relay click when I start asterisk, and then hear it click again
when it stops.

I do not know anything about Asterisk, other than it has been around for a
while. My first intention is to setup a voice mail system. From there I
will work on scripting for an IVR system. Rather simple applications for
Asterisk's capabilities, but it's what I need for now, and it's a great
opportunity to learn more.

I am having problems finding documentation that is actually helpful. Is
there a How To for Asterisk that goes from a fresh install to a simple (or
advanced) voicemail configuration? Or IVR? Or anything? I've looked at
voip-info, followed the link to a couple of bug reports, found the
asteriskdoc project (looks like it is just really getting started), and
googled both the asterisk mailing lists and the web in general. I thought
about spending money on the book advertised earlier, but the web site only
had a TOC posted, no example chapters, and I didn't readily spot
an ISBN.

Thanks,
Greg
