AT&T introduced the Partner Mail VS integrated voice mail system in 1994,
targeted at Partner Plus and II (Release 3.1 or better.) Unlike the earlier
Partner Mail, VS is a complete system in a single Partner module, plugging
into 2- or 5-slot carriers. Integration is via the digital bus, rather than direct
connection to station ports, which saves system capacity.
5 releases were made until Avaya replaced VS with Partner Messaging.
The basic module includes support for 2 ports and 10 voice mailboxes, but
through installation of PC cards, the owner can increase capacity to 4 ports
and 48 mailboxes. The final release included up to 100 hours of voice
message storage.

Partner Mail VS adds new functionality called Record-a-Call, allowing a
system phone user to record the telephone call in progress. Recordings go
into the user’s voice mailbox. Record-a-Call requires a 4-port PMVS
installation.
Since the VS module plugs into a Partner carrier, it emulates a station board,
consuming (typically) 6 station identifications. Details are dependent on the
Partner system and location within the carrier.
