What does the "|" do like this: exten => s,8,Voicemail(11|) >From the CLI "show application voicemailmain" Description] VoiceMailMain([EMAIL PROTECTED]|options]): This application allows the calling party to check voicemail messages. A specific mailbox, and optional corresponding context, may be specified. If a mailbox is not provided, the calling party will be prompted to enter one. If a context is not specified, the 'default' context will be used. Is "Voicemail" the same as "VoiceMailMain" -- #Joseph _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
