[Asterisk-Users] Sending DTMF after recording new voicemail

[Umar Sear]

Andrew, 

The externnotify returns the number of messages in the mailbox, and if
the mailbox is empty it will return zero. 

My understanding is that you want to dial out to the Toshiba PBX when a
message is left or retrieved. The way I would do it to write an
application that creates an appropriate call to dial out to the pbx and
send the appropriate DTMF depending on whether or not there are messages
in the mailbox. 

As for sharing, I would be happy to share my code if people think it
could be useful.
