I am in a hospital enviornment. We are trying to move off of SkyTel paging to IM. many of the clinicians (doctors and nurses) are forwarding the pages to their company paid cell phones today. I would like to also offer the capability to forward the page to their Cisco 7921 WIFI phones. The WIFI phones are connected to Cisco CALL Manager which interfaces with a large Nortel PBX. The phone numbers used by the WIFI phones are internal 5 digit numbers and do not translate to a DID. So can not forward to 10 digit number via PSTN. Questions include: does Cisco WIFI support IM? Can I forward form Skytel to 5 digit number controled by Call Manager. If Skytyel's have no knowledge of 5 digit dial-plan then I am thinking this is not possible no matter what HW and/or Software I have. If the WIFI phones have DIDs then this shoudl work. Thoughts. Thanks
