I'm working on migrating my home POTS phone system into an Asterisk PBX. Currently I have my FXO and FXS setup and working great. Zapateller is nice! I'm working on my voicemail now and currently have my 3 mailbox answering machine plugged into my FXS along with all my other analog phones. I'd like to slowly migrate away from the FXS answering machine in favor of Asterisk Voice Mail. Currently a caller can press *3 to leave me a message in my own mailbox on the FXS machine. Is there any way that I can make Asterisk monitor the line after the machine has picked up and if it detects a *3 dump the user into my Asterisk voice mail box but for everything else just let the user leave a message on the normal machine? It was suggested on #asterisk that I could possibly accomplish this with a conference and AGI script but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing that. Thanks for any suggestions!

Try to Dial first, and if that times out after n seconds, play a message "press 1 to leave chris a message, 2 for everybody else". Then connect yours to * VM, and everybody else's connects to the external answering machine. --Chris -- Chris Maj <cmaj_hat_freedomcorpse_hot_info> Pronunciation Guide: Maj == May Fingerprint: 43D6 799C F6CF F920 6623 DC85 C8A3 CFFE F0DE C146
