[cisco-voip] Cisco call handlers

You can't take a message directly to a call handler.  You have to have it
taken by a pdl, or a subscriber.

But getting the calls to the call handler is pretty easy.  Assign it a DID.
GIve it that extension (where it says optional).  Create a cti port, or cti
route point or a dummy phone and forward all to voicemail.
