[Asterisk-Users] Adtran TA750, any chance of working MWI ?

[Steve Creel]

After some sleep, google gave me some additional information:

Wade said before that MWI is done by FSK and voltage-type MWI is not
supported:

For the existing MWI to work, voltage on the line needs to drop for a
fraction of a second - I think this can happen in asterisk, probably as
part of the do_monitor block where vmwi_generate is called.  Does that
make any sense?

We have about 40 2500 sets... If I have to replace the phones themselves,
does anyone have a model they'd suggest for replacing an Avaya 2500 set
that supports FSK MWI?
