[Asterisk-Users] Newbie alert: Cannot get voicemail to answer (have scoured the web for help)

[Asterisk]

Thanks for the help, but the problem remains:

 did try the ,20 - same thing (but I tried 5 instead).

this was from the console:

    -- Executing Wait("CAPI[contr1/444970]/5", "1") in new stack
    -- started pbx on channel (callgroup=2)!
    -- Executing Answer("CAPI[contr1/444970]/5", "") in new stack
    -- CAPI Answering for MSN 444970
    -- Executing DigitTimeout("CAPI[contr1/444970]/5", "5") in new stack
    -- Set Digit Timeout to 5
    -- Executing ResponseTimeout("CAPI[contr1/444970]/5", "10") in new stack
    -- Set Response Timeout to 10
    -- Executing BackGround("CAPI[contr1/444970]/5", "tt-monkeysintro") in
new stack
    -- Playing 'tt-monkeysintro' (language 'en')
  == CDR updated on CAPI[contr1/444970]/5
    -- Executing Dial("CAPI[contr1/444970]/5", "zap/1/711|5") in new stack
    -- Called 1/711
    -- Zap/1-1 answered CAPI[contr1/444970]/5
    -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'
  == Spawn extension (default, 711, 1) exited non-zero on
'CAPI[contr1/444970]/5'
    -- CAPI Hangingup
