Hi Tony,

	this is called Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) in asterisk.  I
haven't set it up myself,
but from what I've seen there are a few parts:

1) setting a mailbox=1234 etc. in the extension definition in the channel
file
2) setting up the phone

Have a look around the wiki
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=SIP%20mwi

It says CISCO works http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+phone+cisco+79xx
and ADSI, and grandstream,
I assume SNOM can, it's just not documented on the wiki yet, maybe you can
contribute that :-)

Cheers,
Woody
