Voice Mail Detection

Hello,

We’re currently using these amd.conf settings and was wondering if anyone had any more effective settings or knew of a way todo the following

  1. Play your pompt and detect voice activity.
  2. If the voice activity happens between say 4 and 5 seconds you know it’s
    either a) noisy env or b) an answering machine.
  3. Once we’ve determined it’s answering machine wait for no voice activity and play the voicemail prompt.
