asterisk users - Jun 2003 - Manager interface, again

Ok, 

is it me or do some of the commands just not work properly? I asked for
mailboxstatus
and got:

Response: Success
Message: Mailbox Status
Mailbox: 1000
Waiting: 0

which is all well and good, except of course I have 2 messages waiting... which
kinda means
it only works, if you have 0 messages... (using voicemail not voicemail2)

Ok, 

like a **** I'll answer my own message:

If in your voicemail.conf you have * configured to the send message in an email
you will NOT get a stutter dialtone or any MWI light you may have. I've just
removed my email address from voicemail.conf.. much better like that...

Hi all,

The lates version of Asterisk, using

busydetect=yes
busycount=5

in zapata.conf and [nl] as country works like a charm for my PSTN
connection.
I am located in Romania. It seems that the number of real heard busy tones
is busycount value -1 .
Have tried with busycount=5 and I hear 4 tones, tried with busycount=10 and
I hear 9 tones.

BR,
Dan
