[Asterisk-Users] Messages button on a Polycom 501

[Brent Bloodworth]

I mistakenly followed a how to guide on voip-info.org describing how to
setup the 501s with asterisk at home. It appears that you have set me on the
right track as setting the contact set to *98 brings up the voicemailmain.
The next logical question is - How do I setup the contact to enter the
mailbox number and password when prompted. I would assume that this can be
scripted but I am a noob when it comes to asterisk. thanks for all the help
so far.
