I started some docs, haven't gotten around to finishing them.  You can
see what I came up with at:

<http://www.ocjtech.us/vm.pdf>
<http://www.ocjtech.us/vm.xml>

Part of the problem with creating end-user documentation for Asterisk is
that it's just *too darn flexible*.  If you look though my docs, you'll
see that I used a lot of verbiage like "if your administrator did
this..." and "if your administrator did that...".

Plus, while the voicemail system probably had a clean and elegant
design, it has amalgamated a lot of patches and bug fixes that have left
the whole system quite a mess.  IMHO, the whole voicemail system needs a
ground-up redesign.
