Just to be clear about the version: I assume that the version is: http://packages.debian.org/stable/comm/asterisk (1:1.0.7.dfsg.1-2sarge3 or 1:1.0.7.dfsg.1-2) If you don't lack disk space on that system, than install the package asterisk-doc . It will install a huge pile of unnecessary API docs. But also /usr/share/doc/asterisk-doc/examples with the sample configs. > People can leave > voicemail for the extensions that are setup in the configuration, and > asterisk e-mail's the user a .wav file (voicemail.conf).

This is normally an issue with detecting the DTMFs in the call. What phones are the users using? How are they connected to Asterisk? If those are SIP phones, then both sterisk and the phones need to agree on the DTMF encoding method. See the dtmfmode option in sip.conf. (Note that 1.0 does not have dtmfmode=auto) Also: VoicemailMain can take a argument for a username. Usually the caller's caller ID will also match its mailbox number (at least for internal calls). In such a case you can use the following hack: exten => _299[89],1,Answer exten => _299[89],2,Wait,2 ; try waiting just 1? exten => _2998,3,Voicemailmain(s${CALLERIDNUM}) exten => _2999,3,Voicemailmain() (Note that this is asterisk 1.0 syntax. In Asterisk 1.2 use Voicemailmain(${CALLERID(num)},s) -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] icq#16849755 iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
