We will appreciate your feedback -- that's one of the quickest
ways for us to learn about things deserving improvement.
What open source products are people using for voice
mail,
I'm not aware of one I could recommend, a reason why we started
developing our own. I hope a beta version will be out by end of
February (may be to optimistic forecast, though). But it may be
just my ignorance -- the asterisk project may perhaps work.

no idea -- perhaps asterisk too?
and
for conference calls (which include PSTN calls as well as IP phones)?
Columbia university used to develop a conferencing system, but I'm
not sure what its status is. I personally use mitel hardphones for
3-party conferencing -- the phone has the mixing capability built
in it.
The PSTN interworking is orthogonal to whether you run conference
or normal calls -- in either case, you need a PSTN gateway. We
are using commercial hardware devices. I'm ignorant about
available open-source solutions except Vocal's residential
gateway. (I never got the RG running but that was my PBX's
fault -- it used some undocumented tone characteristics which
the RG was not able to detect.)
