[KLUG Members] Open-source voicemail?

[Jamie McCarthy]

Hello, hyper-wise collective mind of KLUG,

I'm looking to replace buggy proprietary software which provides
essentially a very complex voicemail system.  The replacement would
have to allow me to flowchart which number-key presses lead the
caller where, and allow me to play sound samples and optionally
record the user's responses.

Presumably this would use a voicemodem of some kind or perhaps a bit
of custom sound hardware.  And if it provides a friendly frontend
for dealing with incoming voice data, great, otherwise it should
drop that data into an open format that other programs can read.

What I've found so far are these.  Does anyone know whether any of
these would suit my needs?


    http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluelvm
    http://www.bluel.com/

Bluel VMail.  Uses perl and vgetty.  Doesn't look like it supports
flowcharting complex calls but if it's in perl maybe I could extend
it myself.

    http://vocp.sourceforge.net/

VOCP apparently uses "command shells" to create an "unlimited tree
of boxes," where users can "leave and retrieve messages."  Sounds
good and apparently also uses perl and vgetty.

    GNUCOMM

I found some information online from early 2000 talking about a GNU
project called "GNUCOMM."  Apparently this was an ambitious endeavor
to provide a suite of free telecommunications software. I'm unable
to find any of it that was really completed, and I'm not sure if any
of it was written for home-offices like mine with simple
voicemodems.
