I've read "The ASterisk Handbook Verson 2", so I have a very basic
understanding of contexts, extensions and so forth. After reading more on
AGI, it looks like I could do everything I want to with a rather simple
Asterisk config and a perl script.

The privacy manager function could be accomplished by looking for an empty
(or missing) "agi_callerid: " value from STDIN. And the individual
voicemail boxes could be accomplished by playing a prompt, waiting for a
digit and using "set_extension" to send the call to the desired voicemail
box.

Does that sound like I'm on the right track?

Thanks in advance,
