[asterisk-users] Re: Set hint status from dialplan?

[Steven]

That is the metermaid patch.  It has been included into 1.4 as far as I know.

I am hoping to use that for parking slot BLFs on the phones.

My extension for day/night mode is not a real channel, so I am hoping to set the hint value manually.
