Is voicemail not what your looking for?

I understand the frustration of trying to get things working first run.  I found reading rereading and rereading the wiki to be most helpful.  You start to get a sense for how things work.  There are usually 100 ways to accomplish the same task in fs.  Over time you'll start to figure which ones work best for your setup.  You should jump in the weekly conf call.  Lots of people there can give you a hand.
