[asterisk-users] MWI from Asterisk to Meridian

[Johann Steinwendtner]

 From voicemail.conf:

; If you need to have an external program, i.e. /usr/bin/myapp
; called when a voicemail is left, delivered, or your voicemailbox
; is checked, uncomment this:
;externnotify=/usr/bin/myapp

Maybe this approach can send the commands to the M1.

Best regards

Hans
