John,

I got my config fixed.  Needed to rerun make install in asterisk since
zaptel was setup again.  Now on to the IVR tomorrow and trying to get
this vmail button working right.

Thanks!
Wiley

OK, let's work on this.

First things first.  I would like to see how your phones are setup in
sip.conf along with your voicemail.conf.  Specifically, what context the
sip phones are put into and whether or not the extensions of the sip
phones match your voicemail boxes.

For example, from my sip.conf file for my extension 7001, I have:

[7001]
context=from-internal
callerid="John Baker" <7001>
type=friend
username=7001
secret=XXXXXXXXX
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no                  ; Cisco poops on reinvite sometimes
qualify=200                     ; Qualify peer is no more than 200ms
away
protocol=udp
dtmfmode=rfc2833
mailbox=7001 at dont_spam_me
nat=0
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=gsm
auth=md5

and the relevant line from voicemail.conf is

[listbrokers]
7001 => XXXXX,John Baker,JohnB at dont_spam_me.com,,tz=central

Yeah, this is a mess.  First, are we answering phone calls on the
console?  If yes, you're going to need your incoming phones to ring
/dev/console.  I don't think you want this, so oss.conf can wait.

Second, why does your incoming context also include local and outgoing? 
That doesn't seem to quite right to me.

And what is this?

What is Zap/g2?  I don't see group 2 given in zapata.conf.
