I mistakenly followed a how to guide on <a href="http://voip-info.org">voip-info.org</a> describing how to setup the 501s with asterisk@home. It appears that you have set me on the right track as setting the contact set to *98 brings up the voicemailmain. The next logical question is - How do I setup the contact to enter the mailbox number and password when prompted. I would assume that this can be scripted but I am a noob when it comes to asterisk. thanks for all the help so far.
