Hi, all. I've got an old Telrad PBX with an Emagen(?) voicemail box. The VM box, itself, is beginning to show its age. Big-time. We're thinking it might be time to look for a replacement. I'd love to install Asterisk with an FXO card or something, but I don't think it supports whatever

As others have said, this is certainly possible. Our old NEC phone system had us in the same boat. It triggered voicemail by ringing the VM extension(s) and sending a DTMF burst of the extension to record VM for within 1.5 seconds. In our case, when any call came it in went to the

Wow. Thanks for all the replies! Something just occurred to me, though: which side would be FXO, and which side would be FXS? The PBX? Or the Asterisk/VM side? Thanks again for all the info! -Ken On Wed, July 1, 2009 3:36 pm, Jared Smith wrote: On Wed, 2009-07-01 at 13:05 -0400, Ken
