Asterisk & Cisco Callmanager Express (CME)

I decided to add some voicemail functionality to the lab. The Open Source Project Asterisk came to my mind. The goal was to get the voicemail forwarded, with an audio file, to a public email account at GMX. I also wanted to use the MWI function of the SCCP phones. And surprisingly, after "a little bit" of testing it worked. Remember, this is only a proof of concept, I don't claim that to be the perfect solution. Suggestions welcome.

With help from:http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Cisco+CallManager+Express+Integration
Here is my extensions.conf:

;Transfer on unavailable.
; I playback 1 second of silence to allow the call to establish correctly else the start of the audio gets cut off, if you have silence suppression or something
; I guess you could play a beep.
; Because the call is being transfered the variable ${CALLERIDNUM} contains the number of the calling device not the divice they were calling
; This would mean you would end up in your own or a non existant mailbox, the variable ${RDNIS} contains the number
; the call was redirected from and therefore can be used to specify the correct mailbox number.
