Consider this:
http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/xecsdev/The+Openfire+admin+console

Using the openfire admin console you can turn on any plugins available.  We
definitely would like to enable more of the Openfire functionality to become
visible and available from sipXconfig.

.as well as allow you to queue voicemails.  There is a promising new ACD

There are a few settings required by Fastpath that would have to be modeled
