Since they only have two voice lines, with the third as a fax, I am using voicemail from the telco.


Maybe I am misunderstanding you but why does this force you to use telco
voice mail instead of * voice mail? You can also free that third line up
for voice if you use faxdetect.



The concern from the client is that they want to have 2 people on the line plus a fax 
and still not give anyone a busy signal. Using asterisk voicemail does not allow this 
unless they pay for another line. Voicemail is a less expensive option ($10/month) 
than another line (~$50/month).

I am looking at getting a DID from a VOIP provider to try and make the price point a little better but, being in Victoria,BC the options are non-existant at the moment. Vonage and Primus are the only two I have found that provide local (area code 250) DID's, but neither support integration with asterisk.

I discussed faxdetect but, as they are a law firm, they live and die by the fax and 
never want a situation where they can't send or recieve a fax. As well, I couldn't 
figure out how to dynamically disable echocancel and echotraining on a line. My 
experience is that fax is less reliable with those enabled.

Hmmm - I just 'integrated' Vonage with Asterisk - took about 10 minutes. Crude integration - Vonage's Motorola VT1000v Telephone Adapter -> Digium XP100. Incoming (from Vonage) calls hit my auto attendant, outgoing you just dial 8-x-xxx-xxx-xxxx. No problem. For the FAX side of things - keep a POTS line.
