I assume that by the lack of response, there is no way to pick up on the
vocemail waiting signalling from the CO on a FXO zap channel. Can somebody
confirm this.

Bob.

Interesting concept- but outside the present design principles of Asterisk.  What that would imply is that Asterisk could be bridged (with configuration, not code) to an external voice mail system- most of the focus here is using Asterisk as a voicemail system for other PBX's.  While Asterisk does have a way to indicate voicemail to a given phone (I haven't tried an h.323 phone, but it definitely works with SIP and IAX, and it shouldn't be impossible to make the zaptel driver recognize the stutter tone (if it doesn't already, I haven't poked into that source), a whole new configuration dialect or subdialect would have to be invented to convey the message between the two.  Simple dialplan should be able to give you a 'one click to pickup external voicemail' type setup- it's the indication which Asterisk configs simply don't understand presently.

Nice little project for 1.6, if there's enough interest- I'd put it in as a feature request in Mantis.
