I am totally ignorant about actually using asterisk for any purpose. I
have read some of the docs but not all. I am currently doing a telephone
audit for my company and one of the issues is voice mail. We are spending
quit a bit of money with our telco for voice mail services and I was
wondering about using asterisk as just a voice mail system. We are not
quite ready to move to a full VOIP system yet but if I can get this system
in place the VOIP will follow.
Could I get all 3000 phones (on 2 sites) or a large subset set to have a
call forward no-answer feature set to call a number that would be answered
by asterisk's voice mail.
If so:
1. what hardware do I need to handle 3000 phones?
2. how would users retrieve their voice mail?
3. how does one tie voice mail into an e-mail address? Are their ways
to do bulk updates for several thousand new users every year?
4. is there a feature what we call talk mail where you set up a group
of phone numbers and send the same message to all of them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
