Thank you for the fast reply. I loaded up the AstLinux last week. I've been able to figure out most of what I need, except for a way to route incoming DID calls to voicemail, allowing the caller to be able to press '*' while hearing the mailbox greeting and then be handed off to 'VoiceMailMain()' to log into their box. If '*' isn't pressed, the caller would just drop into the mailbox to leave a message.
It seems like it should be easy to set up, but it's really kicking my butt right now, and I'm just trying to determine my best avenue for assistance in figuring this out. I'll try the Asterisk forums and see if they can offer any help. Thanks again.

Hi Tim, First, using AstLinux as a dedicated voicemail server, using a small x86 appliance and SSD storage or Virtual Machine Guest is a good approach. This mailing list is mostly dedicated to AstLinux Project specific questions, Asterisk voicemail.conf, sip.conf and extensions.conf configurations are best asked in the Asterisk support groups. If you have things all but working and have reached a brick wall using AstLinux ... you can give this list a try. Keep in mind that using AstLinux, you will be required to generate the base extensions.conf text file for yourself, AstLinux has a basic web interface and "Users" tab that can help manage your voicemail users. As a starting point you might spin-up the "Guest VM x86-64bit (Video Console)" Install ISO in a virtual machine to give you a playground to test before purchasing any hardware. Alternatively, if coding a extensions.conf is not your cup-of-tea you might query this mailing list for off-line consulting help. Here is a reference to give you the flavor of the configuration ...
