[cisco-voip] 'buzz' secretary's phone?

[Erick Wellnitz]

We already have that set up.  The problem this user has with that is it
puts their current call on hold.

He uses it almost like a teelegraph.  1 buzz means x.  2 buzz means y.  3
menas z and so on.  It's really an antiquated methodology but it does have
it's merits.

He likes it because it doesn't interrupt a call in progress and the
secretary doesn't need to be looking at the phone or the PC to get the
'message'.
