asterisk users - Feb 2003 - Directory() application, answers but doesn't dial...

I have the following in my config files:

extensions.conf:
	
exten => 0000,1,Directory(employees)

[employees]
exten => 5555,1,Playback(transfer,skip)
exten => 5555,2,Macro(stdexten,5555,SIP/lenny)
;;
exten => 5556,1,Playback(transfer,skip)
exten => 5556,2,Macro(stdexten,5556,SIP/brian)


voicemail.conf:

5555 => 5555,Lenny Tropiano,lenny at voiping.com
5556 => 5556,Brian Sinclair,brian at voiping.com


If I dial 0000, the Directory application answer, I type TRO or SIN and wait...
nothing,
after a few seconds later it goes onto the "Bye, thank you for calling
asterisk"....

Any ideas?

This was confusing to me too until I read the source code.
Maybe the help text in app_directory could be updated.
Here's the trick.
Not ONLY is "employees" the context app_directory uses to call the
person's extension when you select them, BUT IT ALSO is the context if
voicemail.conf that the list of employees must be in.  So, in your
voicemail.conf you have below just make sure there is a [employees] above the
names and it should work.
Definite documentation issue here. ;-)
Good Luck,
Ben
