It'd be nice if this were changed to once a minute or something more 
reasonable, *or* if it were possible to have the remote IAX2 MWI checking 
done in such a way that you "registered" to the IAX peer and then simply 
received notification of waiting messages, rather than polling for it.  
(think of it similar to an IAX2 REGISTER followed by the occassional 
PING/PONG to make sure the user was still alive at the registered IP/port).

Very nice proof of concept though, I know I'm eager to have a central 
voicemail implemented for IAX2.  :-)
