asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Comedian Voicemail? PROBLEMS?

Hi,

I am a newbie,  and I am setting up a simple system to share a PSTN 
line with another location.

In the process of setting this up I am also testing the various codecs.

I am only able to get comedian voicemail (ie dialing 1234) to record or 
playback messages if I use the GSM codec?  Is this normal and expected? 
  If I use ulaw or alaw I get either trash noise or an immediate busy 
signal on attempted message playback.

I am running asterisk 1.2 on OSX 10.4.3.

Thanks for any help or ideas, and sorry if this is a tired old question.

 This is definitely not normal or expected. Are there any errors that
come up on the CLI?
