the MICS has limitations to the number of DID->extension mappings (I think 
it's in the range of the 30s).  OLI was easy and I use that to track who is 
calling where, but it does no good for telling me where an incoming call 
ended up.  :-)

I've read the same posts and have come to a different conclusion.  I have my 
own MICS extension going to * voicemail but the MWI doesn't work (I haven't 
spent a lot of time trying either though) -- I can make it light up with an 
ATA2 and some hookflash magic but I'm trying to keep it all with the single 
PRI instead of hte PRI + channel bank or TDM card (or Sipura) just to get the 
MWI to work.  :-)
