| Description: | This would ease integrating Asterisk/Comedian with legacy PBX systems, with Comedian acting as the primary voicemail for both systems. Many legacy PBX systems accept a feature code + extension sequence to turn on/off Message Waiting Indicators. Should include options to either use a DIAL command to dial the MWI on/off code, or to run a script (which will allow for SMDI/VoiceBridge/PBX-Link type of integrations). ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Perhaps a cleaner solution would be to add new functionality like this to extensions.conf: [vm_notify] MessageIndicatorOn => *100 MessageIndicatorOff => *101 exten => 2XXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${MWI|MAILBOX}) | ||

Two contexts, one for one and one for off, would be what i would think. I guess in here we could run a DeadAGI, Do a DIAL to update MWI for a old style PBX, send a sms or numeric page, etc. Sounds like a great idea to me.
