Why not connect the Voice MAil port to a 10,000 volt battery and then to her chair, that way there is no way she can miss any vm.
Avaya, Octel, AUDIX, CMS and other fun stuff.

And if that doesn't work, take her digital phone away and replace it with a 2500 set.

If you really want to get tricked out, you can buy a 1mm Blinking LED. Take apart the phone, remove the current LED and solder on the new one. Not sure what the voltage requirements are but it may work. Worth a try if She is high on the ladder. I have actually used the LED's in from a 8410d on other stuff but never visa versa. I have also hooked up the speaker in the phone to the computer speaker input...so when ever you hit the speaker button the call goes through your speakers on your comp...You know the little grey buttons, I have taken those out and spray painted them different colors, ie Red for crisis alert, blue for speed dial to police, orange for speed dial to Fire.
Maybe I should start a phone modding site...hmmm

I admire your patient and creativity. The problem is if one big cheese has it and all big cheese would want it. Soon you’ll be soldering a yellow blinking LED for the janitor’s phone because we have to treat everyone equal.
Just say “NO”! Please!

I stayed at a motel that had a system that the message waiting light flashed. So replace the whole phone system to get the flashing light, give a billion $ of options to the big wig, bankrupt the company, sell it to a foreign company that lays off half the staff, and outsource most of the rest of the other jobs to India.
Ahhh, life in corporate America, it don't get much more insane.

Try this Corporate-speak on your Management... "Customers and clients would not expect to have to wait for a reply to a voicemail message or they will cease to be customers/clients. Voicemail messages will be automatically deleted after 4 days. If you are on leave, manage your voice mail accordingly by recording a personal message to reflect this."........ Then give 'em a week before you implement!

I got it!!! Put in a web cam that is focused directly on the led of the phone. Write an asp script that will take the web cam output and make it "blink" on a web page. WOW !!! Version 2.0 would give web control to the blink rate! Hey .... what about writing some flash animation .... This could be BIG!!!!!

Ok one more thing a little more serious though, the question is do you have an AUDIX VM System? If so you can set up AUDIX to call her extension when a voice mail is left, you even have it remind her after so many attempts. I think you can dos omething similar in Octel but beats me how, wait I support Octel, oops got to go research now, yikes
