[Spce-user] Voicemail - '*' interrupt not working and message not playing from phone

So if the sound files are installed and they are playing fine when 
dialing ext 2000 from a internally registered extension, does this mean 
the sound files are correct? I guess I am having a hard time determining 
why sound files missing would cause the user not to be able to access 
voicemail externally by pressing the * (Asterisk) key.  When the * 
(Asterisk) key is pressed during the 'unavailable greeting' with an 
outside PSTN call, nothing happens.  From the manual it shows after the 
asterisks key is pressed, the system should ask for the users PIN to 
gain access to the voicemail system.   When viewing the asterisk -vvvvvr 
console, I am not getting any error or any acknowledgement of any '*' 
key presses.

This feature is listed in the Manual Docs, which is where I am having 
the problem.  This feature works in my oldest SPCE install (~mr3.2.1.2), 
but not the last two installs I have done.
"

  * The user can also dial his own number from PSTN, if he setup Call
    Forward on Not Available to the Voicebox, and when reaching the
    voicemail server he can interrupt the "user is unavailable" message
    by pressing/*/key and then be prompted for the PIN. After entering
    PIN and confirming with/#/key he will enter own voicemail menu. PIN
    is random by default and must be kept secret for that reason

Is this the issue that is going to be fixed in the new version, or is 
this just an issue with my installs?  Perhaps its a codec issue, but 
also other keys work.

Any further insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
