I'm using a TVS-50  as a home answering machine: Single mailbox, no AA.

I would like to extract the number of messages (new and saved) for this particular 
mailbox.

I wrote a program that traverses the menu tree, generates a useage report for the 
mailbox, and extracts those two numbers.

This solution has several drawbacks:

1. it expects the TVS to be in a particular state (top menu) when it begins.  It has 
limited ability to recover from finding itself in a different state (a tradeoff I made 
to save time and complexity)

2. by its nature, this is a polling scheme.  As a user changes the status of a message 
(new -> Saved -> Delete), there is a certain delay (poll interval) before a new report 
is generated, and the counts are updated

My questions:

1. Is there an easier, more streight forward way to get this info (other than the tree 
traversal)?
2. Can the TVS generate an event when these counts change (and if so, how is it 
enabled)?

Thanks,
Noam
