voice-0.6.tgz or mgetty/vgetty will do it. Voice scripting is easy. You 
can set up 9 voice mailboxes and force the store 'filled'. Then the 
primary announcement tells the users to vote, and they 'vote' by 
selecting a mailbox that is full. The full message confirms the vote. 
The message counter continues to operate after the store is full, for 
each box.
