[Asterisk-Users] External MW Lamp On/Off

[Greg Blakely]

Yes, it helps quite a bit.  It shows me where Comedian Mail spawns the
external app.

Do you have a copy of your SIP MWI script?  I may be able to use it as a
starting point.

Also, can you tell me what variables are passed from asterisk to the
app?

Thank you very much.

Greg
