<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Two main reasons:</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=4>There is no way to dial an extension that is not
configured somehow in Unity as either a subscriber or a call handler. Yes, I
know there is a system transfer call handler, but that would entail the user
knowing that the person they are calling does not have voicemail or some
roundabout way of sending them to that call handler as an error condition, or
possibly, and I never thought about it until now, using that instead of a
custom call handler. Hmmm, time for the test centre.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=4>External calls are transferred as internal calls,
so we can never use the forward busy internal/external feature on call
manager. We used to use ROLM Phonemail<FONT size=1><STRONG>TM</STRONG></FONT>
as our autoattendant and it could transfer external as external no problem.
Ah, the good ol' days. ;)</FONT></LI></UL>

correctly. You<BR>> need<BR>> CM or CME to register your VM
ports. There is no<BR>> way<BR>> to register SRST directly
with Unity yet... that<BR>> is an<BR>> ongoing feature
request. So if you have Unity at a<BR>> remote site and it
looses communication with CM or<BR>> CME<BR>> then you have
no way to call into Unity. However<BR>> if<BR>> your Unity
server is located at the central site<BR>> with<BR>> CM then
you can use the PSTN to access Unity<BR>> providing<BR>> the
pilot is a DID AND the PSTN supports RDNIS.<BR>> <BR>> ---
