The vm is answering the call immediately because you are forwarding ext
221 to vm in the last step. If you don't forward it, and the extension
is setup in phone system correctly, it will forward after a certain
number of rings. Did you attach mailbox 221 to ext 221? The way the
system works, you can make mailboxes independant of the extensions. If
you have any questions, please email me directly and you'll get answers
faster, and I'll post the solutions back to newsgroup for everyone
else.
