This turned out to be relatively painless to get going.  If there is
sufficient interest I'll do a talk on it as there were a few "gotchas".

It seems quite powerful.  Out of the box it can hold up to 1000 user
voicemail boxes less a few for system stuff.

That means a decent size organisation could have its voice mail system run
out of a single Linux box.  The system is all written in perl and it could
be extended past 1000 voicemail boxes if someone wanted to do the work.
Cheers,
