asterisk users - Sep 2003 - Voicemail to a commercial PBX/key phone system

Hello.

I've seen some mentions of asterisk possibly being used as an inexpensive 
voicemail attachment to a commercial PBX etc.

Does anyone here, have experience of using it in this fashion ?

What commercial systems have been successfully attached too ?

How is the attachment made ?

Analog, digital ?

If anyone has successfully accomplished this, I would like to hear the make 
and model of phone system and how they did the voicemail connection to an 
asterisk system.

On or off list is fine.

Regards...Martin

Martin,

We currently are in dire need of a system to replace our Audix Voice Power
connected to our Merlin Legend switch.  A little while ago, I knew
absolutely nothing about how to do this, and inquired on the list.  The
response I got were extremely helpful to me, as I had no idea where to
start.

The Legend currently has 8 analog lines in a hunt group to the
voicemail/auto-attendant system.  I went in after-hours and put a buttset
inline to monitor the first line in the hunt group.  When I call in from
an outside line, there is a series of DTMF codes sent, and the
auto-attendant plays.  After making a selection, there is a hookflash,
more DTMF, then the line is hung up.

In hindsight, it makes perfect sense that this is how it is handled.

Steve

Are those 8 analog lines from the telco, or from the merlin?

Hi Martin,

I have an installation where * is hooked to a Siemens Hicon 300, serving more 
than 100 voicemail boxes.

Lines going in * are analog, with the PBX sending me some DTMF codes of who is 
ringing, motive (busy, not available, etc...)

Hi Martin,
I?m currently in progress to replace our ITS System in company that is
connected to a BOSCH/Tenovis Integral 33xe. The how way it is planned is by
adding an additional line that behaves like a trunk and passes the
extensions dialed. We plan to use the chan_capi with 2 AVM B1 cards in P2P
mode to establish the link.
