Disgustingly simple.  I just want to have an option of leaving voice 
mail for one or another person (extension, user, whatever) or checking 
voicemail.

I loaded bluebox and deleted it almost immediately.  It really didn't 
bring anything to the table as far as I could see.  I've spend 2 weeks 
getting my dialplan the way I wanted it and bluebox pretty much wiped 
the slate clean.  I didn't feel like starting over.

I was reading the wiki/IVR that's one place I quoted in my email.  I 
just thought it strange that the author would go to great pains to 
explain that an automated attendant was significantly different than an 
IVR and when I went to find an automated attendant for FS, all I could 
find were IVR scripts. :)

There's enough examples in the dialplan an the wiki for me to get 
started I think.  If not, I can probably fall back on javascript.  
Programming doesn't scare me.  I started doing it in 1965. :)

Anyway I just want to be sure there wasn't an automated attendant 
function in FS that either I overlooked, or wasn't yet documented, given 
that an automated attendant ISN'T an IVR, or so says the wiki.
