Been there done that too. Good old BT branded gear.
Its the same thing. A T1/E1 in the PBX connected via a crossover cable
to the * server.
As for the 4 extensions listed below, I think I know what your engineer
is talking about. A classic VM system consumes "ports" in the PBX. Your
client has had to give away 4 of these to the VM system. My guess is
that there's some sort of data (ADSI??) that goes along with the call
when it lights up one of the VM ports.

get some attension :) ).
Please contact me about this if you have experience with Merlin Legend
and asterisk voicemail.

I didn't think it sounded right either. I haven't seen the equipment but
from what I've been told by another engineer here who normally works
with this customer the current voicemail system is connected to the
meridian as 4 extensions on the meridian system.
I would have thought that the T1/E1 interface is what they would need.
They currently have an indicator light on the phone but I told him that
as far I knew if they went this route the voicemail would arrive in
their email box or they would have to login to see if they had any. I
didn't see any way to get the info to the phones either.

Capacity as in not enough lines or capacity as in not enough mailboxes?
FXS lines doesn't sound right. How does the current system know which
mailbox to put the call?
A T1/E1 type interface would be more likely. You forward the call to the
* server over the T1 by addressing the mailbox's 4 digit number.
Do you user currently know if they have VM or do they have do dial in
and see?

How does one go about connecting Asterisk to a Meridian PBX to handle
voicemail?
I have a customer who is out of capacity on their voicemail system
(which connects to their meridian via several FXS cards) and I would
like to see if I could use Asterisk to handle their voicemail.
