[cisco-voip] FW: Broadcast voicemail

[Ed Leatherman]

Thanks for clearing that up Pat. Resync takes a very long time for us, when
i watch the port activity  it seems like it moves at a snails pace and only
ever uses 1 or 2 ports for MWI even though I several more setup for that
purpose. I guess I need to look at the exchange side, I always thought it
was Unity being slow or something.
