Summary:                    [patch] Caller Id and Message Waiting Indicator
problems
Description: 
I've got two issues but i didn't open two bugs because they are quite
related.

Issue 1) In France callerid signalling is V23 and callerid start is RING.
Current callerid works well except when callerid is associated to a
"message waiting indicator"(mwi) message. In this case callerid spill is
just ignored by chan_zap.
It is due to the fact that callerid's mdmf type is 0x80 and callerid with
mwi is 0x82 (mdmf fields are the same). So the patch to callerid_feed is
straight forward.

But well when a message waiting indication arrives it should'nt be treated
as normal call so my patch makes the fxo channel start at 'mwi' extension
if it exist.

Issue 2) Current code try to generate mwi signal to fxs channel when their
mailbox state change. It is using ONHOOKTRANSFER to do so and it doesn't
work for french phones (based on ETSI standard, so it mail fail for others
aswell).
To work, we should ring once to wake up the phone and then transmit mwi
data, no rings should follow the transmission.


I added an option to the native format request so as to ring and stop when
cidspill has been sent, that's 'm' option.
ex:
Dial(Zap/1m), to ring using default cadence and stop after first ring (ie
cidspill is sent).

Dial(Zap/1m1), to ring using custom cadence and stop after cidspill sent
(depending on the cadence)

Message waiting indicator will be set if channel's ${HASVOICEMAIL} is set
to 1.
Message waiting indicator will be cleared otherwise.


In France : 
defining  cadence=250,1500,1500,3000
and then doing Dial(Zap/1m1) works well.

So when mailbox state changed instead of doing an onhooktransfer, we
should Dial (Zap/1m1).

The best way I found to do this and keep backward compatibility is to
launch the pbx in a specific extension.

I added an option to zapata.conf so as to decide what to do when mailbox
state changed for a FXS channel (option called 'onmboxchange').
 - Either 'sendmwi', default mode (for backward compatibility), to send
data using onhooktransfer.
- Or 'jumptomboxchanged', to start the pbx on 'mboxchanged' extension in
the channel's default context. The variable {HASVOICEMAIL} will be set to 1
if mailbox is not empty and set to 0 otherwise. Then the user is free to
decide what to do when it's mailbox state changed.

Ok to sum up:
here's is my config:

zapata.conf

cadence=250,1500,1500,3000
onmboxchange=jumptomboxchanged

extensions.conf

[fxschannel] ;=> that's the extension for my Zap/1 FXS channel
; our mailbox state changed, we will send the mwi to our phones Zap/1
exten => mboxchanged,1,NoOp(Status of mailbox changed ${HASVOICEMAIL})
; timeout is 3 seconds, enough time to send the cidspill
exten => mboxchanged,2,Dial(Zap/1m1,3)
exten => mboxchanged,3,Hangup()
exten => mboxchanged,103,Hangup()

[fxochannel]
; we received mwi from telco provider
exten => mwi,1,NoOp(Got Messages Indication from telco ${HASVOICEMAIL})
; here we decide to send it to our phones
; CALLERID should be valid also if we want to check calling number
exten => mwi,2,Dial(Zap/1m1,3)
exten => mwi,3,Hangup()
exten => mwi,103,Hangup()

I just checked out mwi_rpas branch.

But it doesn't seem to work => even with mwisendtype=rpas...
My phones don't even react no ring generated.

When reading the code mwi_send_thread, an on-hook transfer is attempted
anyway and in my case we shouldn't. I removed this on hook transfer but
that doesn't fix the issue.

Does that work for you?
