[Asterisk-Users] Programming an unlocked ADSI phone?

Update #2
According to the helpful folks at Sayson, this phone actually has two
'slots', and the ADSI stuff needs to be downloaded to both (the second one
kicks in when the phone is idle for more than 1s). I had only downloaded
asterisk.adsi to the first slot, which explains why I was seeing the default
(PLEASE PROGRAM ME) triggered from slot 2. I downloaded to the second slot
and all is well now ... at least the phone now identifies itself as I asked
it to, and seems to be programmed ;-)
It seems to me that asterisk.adsi is pretty vanilla - not much
functionality. Has anyone built a better mousetrap that they'd care to
share?
My second problem remains ... when I connect to voicemail now I see:
Comedian Mail
download refused
Services is full
but I don't see any errors in Asterisk's console. What's up with that???
I am now seeing some really cool functionality once I get past this point.
As I'm checking voicemail by navigating the menus, I see stuff like:
