After giving this more thought and hearing some of the other comments, 
I would second (or third) the idea of having voice mail default to 
using comedian mail with the associated keystrokes. I agree with Brad 
that this should not change any existing key strokes. It makes sense 
that a future feature request would be to make voicemail configurable, 
perhaps with other voicemail system key sequences (like Octel, Meridian 
mail, etc) or perhaps have a completely configurable keystrokes.

Thanks Brad and Paul and others for your input.

Could we build up a list of keystrokes used by the different systems that
are in use out there? Sounds like a big daunting task I guess but I'm
probably only talking about the big major players, the systems that are
commonly in use by carriers or voicemail adjuncts with a larged installed
user base?
