asterisk users - Jul 2003 - time and date stamp in voicemail

Hi,

I see that there's been some very light discussion on having a standard time
and date stamp in VM. How can I implement it today? (About to offer a 
system to a customer but they need the stamp to tell when people called.)

Thanks,
--

Tilghman Lesher had a well-written patch he posted to the list a few 
weeks ago for Voicemail, which I've been using without difficulty. 
He has said he's going to work on Voicemail2, so I am hoping to see 
that soon, and then integration into the main CVS tree after some 
testing.

Not only does the patch handle generic time and date stamps, but it 
allows customizable timezones, announcement strings, and uses 
standard UNIX-ish time code macros.  Very slick, and really necessary 
for voicemail systems that happen to have users in multiple timezones.

If you are looking for words to match Tilghman's patch, see the

VoicePulse) as public domain, recorded by Allison Smith:
