OK, depends how you set it up. You might not authenticate at all like
some ITSPs do (based on IP). Is this for your company?

 I committed a patch for voicemail passwords in the Asterisk LDAP
schema last week, so you'll need svn for that:

So, Asterisk and FreePBX? Why both?

This is a mighty big pie to take a bite out of, so it doesn't really
matter. Kamailio is harder is you don't know SIP. Depends, depends,
depends ;-)

What is the overall project goal here? We should have asked that first.
