Okay, fixed to always play beep.

Fixed.  It was intentional but I couldn't remember why so i restored the
original behavior.

Someone has agreed to fund that development so hopefully we'll get that
soon.

In order to support this feature *and* the "jump to a specific message"
we would have to create a menu on the 3 key presumably.

I think it can be done with setuid and setgid directories.

Okay, implemented.  It's called "maxlogins" (see updated
configs/voicemail.conf.sample)
