Hmm, I'll have to try that when I'm back at my * box...  I have the 
following:

exten => 8,1,MailboxExists(201)	; 201 does exist
exten => 8,2,NoOp(itDoesNot)
exten => 8,102,NoOp(itDoes);

Which works fine for box 201 (which exists), but when I put 202 there 
and reload, I will get the message that MailboxExists(202) is called, 
but then it hangs.

I enter this context on a Zap line, so I don't think I have to call 
Answer() and other than that it seems that my example is more simple 
than yours.  I'll have to try some things...

But at least I know that it is working for someone.  Thanks!
