G'day all,

I am not sure that * asterisk differentiates between a 'Main' number  
and a DDI number on ISDN (Maybe it does though)
If this is correct then the problem is in your dial plan.

Lets take a simple example...

not OK <main #> --->  <*> ---> <phone>
OK     <DDI>    --->  <*> ---> <phone>

You don't say where the call forward is going and I am not sure if the  
phone is call forwarding or * is doing it in the dial plan.

I don't know how you would query the phone off hand, but if the phone  
is doing the forwarding then that would be the only way to find out.

I also don't understand your voicemail comment, are you not using *'s  
voicemail?

Cisco 941, are these the linksys phones?
What firmware are you using?
