Inquiring (management) minds want to know. I'm assuming it's because 'it's funny how simple it really is to write a really decent voicemail system'? Kris Boutilier Information Systems Coordinator Sunshine Coast Regional District

Hello: We offer several options for accessing Comedian mail via Asterisk and IP phones. We'd like to add one more. We would like to be able to save a message on the Asterisk server in such a way that it can be retrieved using the telephone set and Comedian mail as it is today and/or via an IMAP client. If accessed via am IMAP client we would like to use an "externotify script" to

Has anyone been able to successfully integrate the Avaya AUDIX voicemail system with Asterisk? I have been diligently investigating converting our small (Ontario, Canada) office to Asterisk, and ditching our Avaya PBX. However, our head office (New Jersey, USA) maintains our AUDIX system, and a) have no intentions of leaving it and b) some users rely upon AUDIX's ability to transfer

A user has their unavailable message played and once that message is over the Comedian message is played right after. Is there any way to prevent the Comedian message being played if the user's unavailable/busy message is being played. Thanks, Kurt

Greetings List, I'm looking for a way to add additional options to the VoiceMail system, specifically, we want to give the user the ability to transfer to an extension from the VoiceMail system. Do I have to really change app_voicemail.c to extend the functioanlity of the Voicemail system, what have I missed?

Does anyone have an xml interface to comedian mail setup for the aastra 480i CT? The old interface to comedian mail on the ADSI phones was a nice feature although kind of slow loading. I thought I'd try to duplicate it on the SIP phones, but didn't want to reinvent the wheel. Marv Horst -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me how I can set up a comedian mail box, and how to use it. Thank you, Hunter

Hello, I have set up Comedian Mail on my Asterisk system. I am using Voicemail not Voicemail2 in my extensions.conf file. The system works great except for 1 thing...It is not possible to create custom unavailable or greeting messages for 3/4 voicemail boxes. For some odd reason 3/4 users are unable to modify the default voicemail prompt with their own custom greeting. The greeting gets

I have a user who goes into Comedian Mail for the first time and goes thru the initial setup, changes password, records name, etc. Problem is that every time he calls in, it thinks that it's his first time and keeps reprompting him. His password change is reflected in voicemail.conf. Others do not have this problem. Where does Asterisk maintain the "first time" flag? Any ideas

I have had two users on two separate systems indicate that they could "not hear a new message" When I investigate I find that the user has marked a message for deletion. The .WAV .wav and gsm files are gone but the .txt file remains thus giving asterisk and the user the impression that a new message exists when it does not. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a fix?

For some reason my voice mail stopped working properly. I was able to go in as a new user, set the password and options and now can never log back in using the password I assigned the mailbox. I can log in through the web interface with that password fine, and the voicemail.conf looks fine but every time I try to check messages I get "Password incorrect please try again" until it

In Asterisk 1.4, is there any way to "force" new users to configure their mailbox? I'm thinking a simple IVR that holds a user's hand through changing their PIN, recording their name, and setting up one or both greetings, the very first time they use the account. I know I can publish docs that tell them how to use the "0" menu and do this by hand... but users are

Is there a user guide for Comedian Mail? I need to give some training materials to my end users. So far, I have been unable to find anything through google or the Digium site.
