[Freeswitch-users] Detecting external voicemail

[I put the Who? in Mishehu]

That machine can be the current switch or another switch even.  If you 
have an extension where one of the applications executed is "answer", 
then there you have it, you now have billsec that increments until the 
channel is hung up.  I would not advise trying to use billsec as any 
yardstick.
