I have spent some time looking at this. There is no SMDI support for 
Asterisk but someone has posted a bounty for it. You might find that you 
can just replace the Octel with * but that's more of a jump than some 
are willing to take. There is the beginning of an APE derived C++ 
library for SMDI.
