asterisk users - Jun 2004 - Simplified Voicemail app / keeping peace with cohabitants

Hello,

I have modified the VoiceMailMain application to satisfy the request of 
the "local users", i.e., my wife.  She lost patience with too many 
options (we have one mailbox, so we don't need to forward messages, or 
reply to messages, or file them in 6 different folders...)  So the 
modified app  says "Message 1", reads the message, "Message
2", reads...
"Last Message", reads the message, says "Goodbye."  If you
call again
you get the Old message folder instead of the New message folder.  The 
only special feature is pressing the 6 button skips to the next 
message.  You want to go back?  Hang up and call voicemail again. It's 
far too worthless to include in the CVS but if it would help you out, I 
can mail you a copy.

Truth is she's been bent out of shape ever since I bought the Digium 
FXO/FXS card, rewired all the house phones and have been spending too 
much time hunched over the server figuring out that call progress 
doesn't work, like every other newbie on the list :)  Making the dial 
plan appear like a 'regular' phone, and this voicemail patch have 
soothed things considerably.

The benefit of all this technology is that she doesn't have to dial the 
800 number to access the assorted calling card providers we use.  I can 
even change them in the background and she'll never know!

Seems like the VoiceMail app should take a .conf file that is analogous
with the extensions.conf that would specify a voicmailplan instead of a
dialplan.  ;-)
