Patch works for me in normal environment.   Code is simple, probably not many ways to "screw this one up"

I don't know if this is the right way to do this.  I think it might be better to convert all the boolean parameters into a single argument, whereby the function is called with VM_INSTRUCTONLY | VM_BUSY, for example.  In the future, there's probably going to be more such flags without arguments, and this makes the function more extensible.

This patch isn't even needed.  If you call Voicemail(${EXTEN}) without a u or a b it will just play the instructions.
