Jon, etc..., the issue here is her family all uses special features of SBC voicemail. E.g. Her mom leaves a VM for my wife at 10:30 PM after the baby is asleep without fear of ringing the phones and possibly waking up the baby. They use it like email. They sign in and create messages, and even send a message to multiple recipients, all without ever ringing the phone. When a VM is recieved the destination party's MWI lights and whenever this is detected, they dail the SBC VM and listen to the message, reply, etc... Since SBC VM doesn't network with Asterisk or anyone else, I need to find a way of passing the MWI info from the SBC line to the handsets in the house, else my wife won't know the she has VM from her family, and then the whole system breaks down. As I said before, everyone in her family has SBC VM. Anytime one of the husbands moved someone off of SBC, they were back in less than a week after realizing it broke how the family used voicemail. I can't get my wife off of SBC VM and onto Asterisk without moving everyone else off, which is very hard, and then I'd have to do training and answer any complaints, etc... So that's why I need to be able to have asterisk detect a message waiting on the SBC VM system and display it. Unless I can be backward compatible with the current analog phone system we have, the whole asterisk project will be nixed, and I'll have to go buy some more Venture handsets to replace the broken ones. :-( Thanks, Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
