Funny, I'm deploying an * based VM solution here, as people particularly
disliked Unity.

It's still in it's early stages, but there will be the option of
navigation through voicemail via the Cisco 79[64]0 XML display.
So myadvice (you already guessed) is: drop Unity. Asterisk can do that
better ;-)

yes, i agree, we never really felt the need to use unity, *'s vm is
functionally ok with callmanager
(except for the message waiting indication, or is there?) can *'s vm send a
MWI to the callmanager?
