Note that with the 2864I, if you want to do discrimination such as
fax/modem on a number, and voice on another, you can't do it through
&ZI, since fax/modem and voice is the same settings.

You need the multi-msn firmware (one of the latest), plus mgetty-1.1.19,
plus the vgetty-specific patch ``called ID'' available on the
previously announced WWW server
   http://www-internal.alphanet.ch/~schaefer/vgetty.html

With all that you can implement what I am doing at the moment:

   8414081  fax/modem
   8414037  X.75 ISDN, or personal answering machine if not X.75
   8414013  voicemail 1
   8414014  voicemail 2
   8414004  do not answer, and stop ringing on the number.

all on the same modem.  Without the ``called ID'' patch, you cannot
stop ringing on a number (specific cnd-program return code not
yet implemented in official mgetty), you cannot decide from mvm what 
voicemail to launch (CALLED_ID is not set by official mgetty). 

Without ring stopping, if you have an ISDN phone, and you are not
there, someone trying to reach you will lock mgetty during the
attempt.

See the examples.
