[Asterisk-Users] Supplementing Current phone system

[Dylan VanHerpen]

Implementing the dial plan you described is pretty straightforward. 
Integration with your existing voice mail system (Meridian Mail?) will 
be a lot harder. You may opt to use seperate voice mail systems, but 
exchanging messages between systems is currently not possible. If your 
current vm system supports AMIS, you may get  your DTMF decoder out and 
start hacking :)
