[Asterisk-Users] Programming an unlocked ADSI phone?

Update #3.
Sayson tell me that this is likely a result of Comedian Mail not knowing
anything about the phone's slots or lock codes, causing the download to
fail.
When I was programming the slots originally, I needed to change the
following information in asterisk.:
SECURITY "_AST" ; Security code
FDN 0x0000000f ; Descriptor number
to information Sayson provided me for each of the slots (1 & 2 of 4
available). Slot 1 is activated by telephony events, and slot 2 is a
self-loading slot that activates when the phone is idle for more than 1
second. I downloaded asterisk.adsi to each slot.
Looking at app_voicemail.c there's clearly a lot of ADSI intelligence, ...
but it's not clear to me how one configures Comedian Mail to know about a
'slot' Descriptor number and Security Code.
