Message Waiting Indication on Analog phones - experience?

[allenkitchen]

Have searched the threads - I see that MWI is said to work pretty much only on Gemini phones due to the "non-standard standard" used by IPO to light such lights; however, in a brief search, I haven't found a source for Gemini 9335's on this side of the pond.

Any ENU experience with MWI on analog ports?

Alternatively - any reliable solutions for triggering external alerting systems on MWI? In particular I am looking for cascaded outcalling notification and am trying to kludge it from MWI and a SensaPhone at this point. I'm ready to tape a photocell to the MWI on a 4406 if necessary, but would be glad to hear of other approaches.

Thanks!

The Avaya Gemini phones are rebadged Interquartz phones. The current Interquartz model is still a Gemini, although the old Enterprise and Discovery models are still available, and will do the trick. Can you get either of those in the US?

As I said on a previous post -

- some phone lamps use different voltages, and IPO supports those which work on 81V. You should check on the phones you're looking at to see what the rating is on the lamp. Chances are it will be 81V or 90V.
