mentioned. To do that, you'll need to stick with PDLs. To do that, you<br>can setup a dummy phone to CFA to Unity, then create a callhandler with<br>that same extension. Give it whatever greeting you want and then set the<br>
'after greeting action' to 'take message' and set the 'message<br>recipient' to be the PDL.<br><br>2 hours sounds like an awful long time to activate all your MWIs, are<br>you sure you're not thinking of a resync? In either case, just wanted to<br>
point out that, if you're worried about everyone calling in at the same<br>time, you can enable MWI throttling, so that they don't all go out at once.<br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>From: "Ed Leatherman" <<a href="mailto:ealeatherman@gmail.com">ealeatherman@gmail.com</a>><br>
