Hello!!! I am using asterisk with a usb headset and therefor no actual telephony handset. I have configured asterisk to use voicemail and I can dial the mailbox via my touchscreen application. The only problem is voicemail asks you to press "1" to hear messages. With a handset this is simple, but does anyone know how to send the appropropriate command to asterisk without using a handset? Or does anyone know if there is a way to configure the voicemail system so that it automatically plays the messages? Many thanks for reading my problem James ******************************************************************** This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.

(What is it btw? xlite, zoiper, etc?) If pushing buttons on the on-screen phone isn't working, check your DTMF settings. Gordon
