Hi,

I tried to work around this by centralizing DND requests in Asterisk and
sending back a short ("You're in DND mode") text to Polycom's screen (using
sipsak for this).
This was rather disappointing as Poycoms redirect text messages to an
Instant Messaging mailbox and do not keep them visible on screen.

Maybe, some king of XML magic would be a better mean to return current DND
status to users.

Any suggestion ?

regards
