VoiceMail greetings, etc

Hello,

I recorded my voicemail greeting and unavail via the voicemailman program. So in my /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/context/box/ dir i see

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K Apr 3 20:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Apr 2 23:05 …
-rwx------ 1 root root 2.2K Apr 3 20:45 greet.gsm

-rwx------ 1 root root 2.2K Apr 3 20:45 greet.WAV

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Apr 2 23:05 temp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Apr 4 16:56 tmp
-rwx------ 1 root root 12K Apr 3 20:45 unavail.gsm
-rwx------ 1 root root 111K Apr 3 20:45 unavail.wav
-rwx------ 1 root root 12K Apr 3 20:45 unavail.WAV

So it appears they recorded ok. Does anyone have any examples on how to make these work? It currently just plays the default record your voicemail after the beep or whatever.

CLI> show application VoiceMail … look at the ‘b’ and ‘u’ options.

evaluate the ${DIALSTATUS} variable for the channel after the dial statement.
