[Asterisk-Users] Re: Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) for remote voice mail?

[Brian McEntire]

I haven't received any responses. Just wanted to follow up and see if anyone
has ideas?

It seems like there ought to be a way to do this, especially since the
TDM400 FXS card is able to send the proper signal to the connected phone. It
seems like there just needs to be a way to configure the FXO card to pass
though or bridge that signal/information to the FXS card when it is received
at the FXO card.

VOIP VM -> Sipura -> Phone worked.

Asterisk VM -> FXS -> Phone works.


Just need a way to do:

VOIP VM -> Sipura -> FXO -> ??? -> FXS -> Phone


The above works great for everything else I've tried so far except for
passing through the message waiting indicator.

Thanks for any ideas!
