Ok I think I found what I am looking for.  You need to added two items to your configs.
 
; Add the following context to your extensions.conf (2001 is the main mailbox that all my messages are left in)
 
[vmlogin]
 
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(2001)
exten => a,2,Hangup
 
exten => i,1,Hangup
exten => t,1,Hangup
exten => h,1,Hangup
; Add the following to the voicemail.conf to define what extensions context will handle the * key or 0 key while in the voicemail application.
 
; Exit to specified context after the user presses * or 0
exitcontext=vmlogin
 
 
Now when listening to my outgoing greeting, I can press the * key and get my mailbox login prompt.

On most VM systems you can press the * key or # key to get a login prompt during your greeting.  Is that not possible with this system?
 
Thanks,
Larry

You could dedicate a PSTN line(& phone number) for that purpose.  You could put a menu system(auto-attendant style) and just dial 8500(demo is set for this exten to be the gateway to VM).  Or if your operator answers, have her transfer your call to 8500.

Can someone tell me how to get to a mailbox login prompt when accessing the Asterisk VM remotely via a PSTN line?  I am running version CSV 8/25/04.
 
Thanks,
Larry
