An alternative to sems is Asterisk, which is a full open source PBX. In
our installation we are only using it as a voicemail server.

Yes, via a separate dial in number. It also is configured to email
voicemail to users. Asterisk writes voicemail to per-user directories,
so it is also easy to provide web access to voicemail.
I imagine that it would not be difficult to configure/modify sems to
provide these same services.
