asterisk users - Dec 2004 - asterisk & 3rd party vm

we are considering replacing our PBX w Asterisk but want to keep our
voicemail, FirstClass Unified Messaging. I can't find docs on configuring
Asterisk w 3rd party voicemail. Can do?
(we're considering this because we're moving to a space that is not
wired
for voice or network & I'm fantasizing we can do both IP & VoIP w
Wi-Fi...)

Do you have docs on your VM software/hardware? If it uses a proprietary
bus to the PBX then you are SOL. As for phones, you would be better off
with cordless 900mhz or 2.4ghz phones sitting in a closet normally than
the WiFi VoIP phones, at least for the time being.
