[cisco-voip] Music On Hold

[Simon, Bill]

I use a much lower-tech solution to check MOH. It's the equivalent of
calling yourself and going on hold, but easier.

If you have IPCC, set up a script that simply answers and puts the caller on
hold for a minute.  Then assign a route point and there you go... dial that
number once in a while, hear the lovely hold music, hang up!
