Remember in the good ol days when answering machines were smart enough to
know when there was a message on the machine, and it would pick up after 2
rings rather than 4? (that is, if you knew how to turn it on - that
required to know how to set the time on your VCR to avoid the flashing
12:00:00)

Hahaha. Jokes aside.

I have come up with a way to do this but it's a kludge:

1 - Read in the variables (normal_ring_timeout)
2 - HasVoiceMail_Timeout
3 - run HasVoicemail
4 - If not have voicemail set ring_timeout = normal_ring_timeout
5 - If Have voicemail - it's jumps to priority + 101
6 - Set ring_timeout = hasvoicemail_timeout
7 - Ring extensions for ring_timeout
8 - blah blah blah...

I was wondering if someone had come up with their own way / better way /
maybe custom app for something like this.

Thanks....
