Just a thought, but if you were adventurous, you could crack open the
old box and use a forensic cloner or even Norton Ghost if you're
really adventurous

Using a voicemail as an archive is a bad idea. Using an old voicemail?
Doubly so. (used to get sued about that, and always won because it
was in
every contract the the voicemail was NOT an archive system).
CYA and tell them to get all those messages off the old system our
they WILL
lose them. The hard drive in that old machine will be dying any day
now--it's a Toshiba! Could be a week, could be a year, but it will
die, and
then it will all be gone. Do you have any idea what a lucrative
business
Toshiba vendors make fixing dead hard drives? And you don't get
your old
messages back.
Use the MixMonitor app to create a connection to the old system and
tell
them -- in writing -- that someone had better spend some time
transcribing
all those old messages. They'll probably ignore you, but at least
you told
them.
