asterisk users - May 2005 - Legacy Toshiba integration

I have recently changed jobs and I now have to administer a Toshiba DK424. I
would like to integrate Asterisk with this Toshiba PBX. I am quite familiar
with Asterisk but I have absolutely no idea about this Toshiba. To make
matters worse the manuals for this system are missing. What I would like to
do is place Asterisk in such a way that we can extend the Voicemail boxes
and possibly add a few voip extensions. What advice if any might the list
have on this subject?

I have looked on the wiki's Asterisk legacy integration and did not find
anything regarding Toshiba

Thanks in advance

Probably not missing. Seldo if ever ae manuals ever sold with a system, 
as mos customers would have no use for them.
Manuals for the Toshiba are available on CD all over the inernet as well 
as eBay. You can get a CD ful of oshiba manuals for 10 bucks or so,
Do some simple searches
One that comes to mind is telemanuals, or something similar.

from other postings on the list, the toshiba VM ports send a "d" DTMF
on
disconnect, which, so far, Asterisk can't hear. Seems the developer of 
DTMF detection was unaware there are 16 tone pairs, not just 12.

Keyvoice makes a nice VM system for Toshiba that does it all, well under 2K

In addition to asterisk serving as VM, you will need to provide some 
ways in and out of the Toshiba to asterisk with analog circuits.

Why not simply get the manuals, read them, add what hardware you need 
and not try and fit a round peg into a square hole.
