Working with R8+ versions - Is there a stutter tone provided to analog phones when there is a voicemail in their mailbox?

I can't find a setting for it in Manager and in searching the forum I get conflicting answers. Some say there isn't stutter tone and the only option is a MWI light or callback, but in other threads I see older versions of IPO have a SDT (stutter dial tone) option for MWI.

Anyone have definitive clarification on this feature/issue?
 
Stutter dialtone is for indicating DND/forwarding, MWI has the following options:

Manager said:
· Message Waiting Lamp Indication Type: Default = None
Allows the selection of the message waiting indication (MWI) mode for analog and IP DECT extensions.

· For control unit and Phone V1 module analog extensions, the options None, On, 51V Stepped, 81V, Line Reversal A and Line Reversal B are available.

· For Phone V2 external module extensions and IP500 Phone base cards, the additional option 101V is available.

That's what I read but then in searching elsewhere I see posts like:

Re: Analog Extn in VM PRO
In the extension form, change Message Waiting Lamp Indication Type to On. Depending on what kind of analog phone you are using, you may get a visual MWL:
The IP Office currently only supports lamps using 81V dc signaling. Some analog phones use 90V dc signaling.
Even if you aren't able to get this, with this field set to on you should get a stutter dialtone when the user goes offhook when he has new messages.

I have found a few posts trying to get the Message Waiting Indicator to work on analog phones but I have not been able to see where anyone has got this working.
The 2 choices are: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) and Stutter Dial Tone (SDT)
