[Asterisk-Users] Why is asterisk's voice mail called comedian.
There was a short discussion thread on this on / about 8/31/2004 but no real answer was ever given. Some people supposed that since a competing voicemail sounded the same (Meridian) that there might have been some correlation between the two but who knows. I'm sure you're more than welcome to hire the same voice talent and make the voice prompt say whatever you'd like it to say :P

Comedian is probably a play on 'Meridian Mail' by Nortel. It makes for a great laugh when you drop in a replacment for the Nortel VM system with Asterisk. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dana Olson Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 12:51 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why is asterisk's voice mail called comedian.
