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.
