[Asterisk-Users] VM access

[Brad Ediger]

Larry,
I have my extensions.conf set up to wait for a * before ringing the inside phone, like this:

[incoming]
exten => <number>,1,Answer
exten => <number>,2,Ringing
exten => <number>,3,ResponseTimeout(2)

; Cover * for voicemail access
exten => *,1,VoiceMailMain(1)

; Ring IAXy after ResponseTimeout = 2 sec.
exten => t,1,Dial(IAX2/iaxy at iaxy,20)
exten => t,2,Voicemail(u1)

This way I can dial in and hit * at the first ring to access VM without ringing the inside line. DISA and the like could be achieved similarly.

Brad

  Can someone tell me how to get to a mailbox login prompt when accessing the Asterisk VM remotely via a PSTN line?  I am running version CSV 8/25/04.

  Thanks,
  Larry
