Hi

So in Linux even when you are in the directory you can not run a file
unless it is in the path - Takes note, sure this will be needed again.

Anyway, IT WORKED I now have voicemail so many thanks for your help.

So to anyone else looking at this you can do it; Never ever touched
linux but now I have a working (although limited at the moment) linux
machine with asterisk on it.

Now to get it a little more useful and add my FWD account. I'm hoping
the phones arrive today, but seeing as it's a bank holiday weekend that
means they will arrive next Tuesday afternoon!!!

Thanks

Ian D

ok, this is because with linux the current directory isn't (normally) in
your path.. try:

./addmailbox

(that's dot forward-slash)

No no, I've had some people ask me why their phone isn't getting files
from their tftp... and this is under Windows! (FYI is was user error in
the end)
