ivam-autobox is an extended version of the simple voice box application . The main difference is: while you have to create every spool directory prior to run ivam-voicebox on it, your are not required to do this for ivam-autobox. Instead the name of the spool directory is generated from the local phone number of the first call (msn-4711 as an example). If such a spool directory does not exist it is created automatically and the system administrator is notified. Thus: to create voice boxes for a large range of phone numbers at once, just map them all to ivam-autobox and let it do the rest for you.

The spool directories of ivam-voicebox and ivam-autobox are compatible, in fact both applications share much of the same code. This allows you to use these two applications interchangeably for ivam2 voice box spools.

You may pass an absolute path as argument to ivam-autobox to be prepended to the local spool names, instead of @SPOOLDIR@.

Navigation in the voice boxes is identical to ivam-voicebox.
