[asterisk-users] Voicemail Configuration

Mon May 16 16:30:32 CDT 2011

Thanks, that's given me some ideas. I don't think I can totally roll my 
own, since I also make use of the MWI features of voicemail. Another 
thread pointed out the existence of minivm, which I hadn't realized was 
available. I just need to find the time to play around with some of the 
proposed options.
