[Aaug] Accessing VM

[Christopher Fowler]

I've ditched Trixbox for now and have began working with astlinux.  The
PC that I've been using has giving me kernel panics and general
protection faults constantly.  I got tired of having to drive to the
data center to restart the thing.  I've got intelligent power and
headless operation there but this was a cheap ATX that will not come
back on during power loss.  So I still have to go there.  After the 3rd
time I removed it.

I've got a embedded type system running astlinux.  It has 64mb flash and
128mb ram and is a VIA Nehmiah 1GHZ system.  I want to rebuild the
configs from scratch to represent what I got working in Trixbox.  It is
the only way to learn this system.

Here is what I've done.

1.  Began reading "Asterisk: The Future of Telephony" from Safari.
    This book is a good beginning but does not get into advanced
    topics.

2.  Removed X100P card from failing system and installed in embedded
    PC.

3.  Worked through the book in #1 and got 75% of my config complete
    from what I had in Trixbox.   I still need to work on IVR, VM, 
    Music-On-Hold, Ring Groups and features


What I'm trying to get working now is the VM system.

I've created 2 extensions *97 (System Vmail) and *98 (User Vmail)

*97 works fine.  *98 I can't seem to get working

In syslog I get this message:
Feb 13 09:37:10 pbx local0.notice asterisk[1500]: NOTICE[1500]:

authentication mode.

Working through the book has made a _HUGE_ difference.  Unfortunately
that book is the only book on Safari related to *.  I need a
recommendation on a better book so that I can read the configs that
Trixbox generates and it not seem like Greek to me.  

Thanks,
