the number of extensions isn't the issue.  it is the signal the meridian
broadcasts when your digital telephone on your desk is on/off hook, or
ringing or whatever.  if you could tap into that information and monitor it
with something similar to *'s manager interface then you could probably
adapt it to work just fine.  the real problem sounds like you want * to know
the status of the extensions on the meridian.  good luck.  that probably
isn't going to be possible.  the presence capabilities of standard telephone
systems are written in super proprietary formats.

T-1/PRI is a standard that in the US = 24 channels and in more advanced
countries (note I am in US, a citizen, etc. not trying to make political
statement here) = 32 channels.  you cannot define more than those channels
on any individual span.
