Yes, I think so.  I'm not sure how it works.  We have a couple of
Panasonic cordless phones that are also hooked up to Sipura ATAs
(since the Panasonics require a power supply, they won't work when the
power is out).  Asterisk lights up the MWI on those phones through the
ATA.  I just assume that Asterisk and the ATA are mimicking whatever
signaling these phones are designed to receive from the local baby
(soon to be Ma) Bell.
