[Asterisk-Users] Auto connect to voicemail

[Eric Wieling]

I use an AGI script I wrote.  It's specific to my setup, but you can get
a copy at http://www.fnords.org/~eric/asterisk/downloads/  You'd have to
adapt it to your own needs, of course.  Basically it does this: When
called with no options it strips off the first 6 digits of the CallerID
if the Caller*ID is more than 4 digits.  When called with a phone number
as an option it replaces the Caller*ID number with the option, but only
if the Caller*ID is 4 digits long.
