Thanks for the information...
After doing some reading it looks like I can use the "d" option with
the Dial() command to be able to enter a 1-digit extension while the
other extension is ringing, but this doesn't seem to be working for me
either...
Here is my new config:
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/50,23,r,d)
exten => s,2,VoiceMail([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten => s,3,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => s,4,Hangup
exten => 1,1,SayDigits(1)
exten => 2,1,SayDigits(2)
exten => 10,1,SayDigits(10)
However, when my phone is ringing (eg. extension 50), I try entering
"1" or "2" (to be forwarded via the Dial "d" option), but it doesn't
do anything.
What am I doing wrong?
I like your solution above, but if I use that I'll need to wait 23
seconds for Dial() to timeout before I can do anything. I'd like to
be immediately able to enter an extension (if possible, which maybe
it's not...)

Using the Background command, you will be able to play the voicemail
while still being allowed to enter digits.
exten => s,1,Wait(2)
exten => 108,2,Background(voicemail/default/108/unavail)
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/50,23,r)
exten => s,2,Background(/voicemail/default/50/unavail) ;or whatever the
soundfile is called
exten => s,3,Voicemail(s50) ;s will skip the greeting and just go to the
beep
exten => s,4,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => s,5,Hangup
You can then put
exten => 1, Dial(sip/me)
exten => 2, Dial(sip/her)
or whatever your dial statements look like.

I have a very, very simple Asterisk setup in my house. I have a
Sipura 3000 with a PSTN line connected and one analog phone connected.
The [incoming] context looks like this:
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/50,23,r)
exten => s,2,VoiceMail([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten => s,3,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => s,4,Hangup
As you can see, when somebody calls in if I don't answer in 23 seconds
then they are forwarded to my voicemail.
How can I make it so I can call an enter extensions either while the
phone is ringing or while the voicemail message is playing? I want
the system to be as seemless as possible so the wife is happy =)
Right now it works great because my Sipura 3000 forwards to call to
Asterisk and Asterisk rings my analog phone, but the incoming caller
hears a steady dial-tone the whole time. I wouldn't want that to
change. (so the caller isn't wondering what is going on)
Any help is appriciated :)
