[asterisk-users] MWI from Asterisk to Meridian

[kritikus Araklidas]

Andrew:

The key here is try to create a way to integrate Asterisk Voicemail with 
existing Meridian PBX and send the MWI to M2616.
I'm investigating the propietary protocol used by Nortel in the integration 
between Octel-Dialogic and Meridian for MWI. I believe is good idea to 
create an appl (and execute that appl in voicemail.conf like external 
application) for connect to the Meridian console port (Serial interface) and 
send the command to the end M2616.

So, if you have some other idea is very welcome.

Cheers.

Chris.
