[cisco-voip] Call reversion on CFNA to first party's Voicemail ->Any way around

[Nathan Reeves]

Looking at the issue, seems the best way may be to setup a translation
pattern for each of the extensions I'm moving.  This accomplishes the
forward to Party B voicemail as I want.  Bit of a pain for each of the
extensions, but some AXL should help me here.

Thanks for the help.
