That's a feature right on up through bigger switches like the Avaya
Prologix. However that switch does have the ability to have fictional
extensions so you could setup one as a general voice mail box. Another
feature is that extensions can light the message lamp on any other
extension. So for example, lets say you have x2340 as your voice mail
general box. It lights a message waiting light on the attendant console
at x1276.
The problem is that the Prologix is a pretty pricey piece of gear.
