Thanks for the response Tony, re-activating the voicemail dial plan allows
me to dial 8-xxxxx and access a voice mailbox, however, I'm still unable to
access 6 digit extensions from auto attendant. I get the transferring
message but hear nothing and the remote phone does not ring. Any
suggestions? Should I undo the change I made to EXTENSION_LENGTH in
config.defs? Thanks!
