Mr. Siler -
I respond in kind...
> I am using the latest firmware from the Wiki. 2.4.2 I believe.
Oops. The latest firmware version is 1.2.0
Try http://www.freedomphones.net/polycom/files/ for the latest firmware. If you don't show the latest version, (try pressing the right buttons on your Polycom phone to get a version number) then anything else we discuss is worthless.
> I edit my XML docs in notepad only.
DON'T DO THAT!! Trust me. I wasted alot of time with a text editor. For a free XML editor, I use http://www.xmlcooktop.com/ Oh, and by the way...
USING AN XML EDITOR IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! Polycom phones will load corrupt XML, but not the way you want it. You will think your changes have an effect, but if the XML isn't good, then they won't. Test your settings with an XML editor!!! Make sure your config files read OK.

Directly to me means I press the 'Messages' button on my Polycom 600 and asterisk asks me for a password. (Asterisk discerns the mailbox from the extension of the phone) It's one touch (but still password protected) It's working here and I'm sure we can get it to work at your office.

Just to be sure, can I see your extensions.conf?

Voicemail answers on extension 8.
Thanks, Wiley

Why do you have a non-null msg.mwi.1.subscribe? You're sending a SUBSCRIBE request to asterisk at extension '8' upon bootup. Is that what you want?
Did you upgrade the phone with the latest firmware?
Did you use an XML editor to mess with the configuration? I messed up mine once using a text editor.
Is asterisk setup to answer voicemail at extension '8'?
Try the above and let me know.

The relevent fields being the msg. fields and up.oneTouchVoicemail
This allows me voicemail via the Messages button but it is not direct. I have to navigate still through allt he menus.

My Polycom Message button goes straight to voicemail. Here's how:
1) Use the latest firmware, available on the Wiki
2) In your phone.cfg file (for each phone) set
<msg msg.bypassInstantMessage="1">
<mwi msg.mwi.1.subscribe="" msg.mwi.1.callBackMode="contact" msg.mwi.1.callBack="76" .... >
3) In your extensions.conf, have something like:
exten => 76,1,VoiceMailMain2([EMAIL PROTECTED])
(Let's assume your voice mailbox is the same as your extension)
Then when you push the message button, asterisk will ask for your password! You're in!

I do get MWI, there are a few things you need to set, and I forget what off the top of my head, soon as I can look and post it here.
I haven't tried the bypassInstantMessage value, but I'll take a look
and see if I can get it to work.
