I can't answer the voicemail question, but this one I can.  The config
file for the phone can include the following line:

phone_label: "User's Name ext. 1234"

This will cause the text in quotes to appear in the black bar.

The line labels are a little bit of a problem.  The Cisco phones actually
try to authenticate with the text that is in there.  The cisco config
file:

line1_name: "Line 1"

This displays "Line 1" on the phone, but also tried to login to the proxy
as "Line [EMAIL PROTECTED]".  Using other SIP proxies, you can do this with the auth
name/password, but with Asterisk...  It jsut doesn't seem to work.

There may be a work-around for this, I've only been looking at this for a
week.
