Thank you very much indeed, that sounds ideal.  I'll try that and look for further help on the normal user forums then.

The VoiceMailMain() app can be told that the user has been pre-authenticated; this means you can use any application you like to authenticate the user, and the VM app won't prompt them for the mailbox number and PIN.

So.. you can build whatever dialplan functionality you wish to incorporate your biometric technology. If your system can be driven by a script (Perl/Python/Ruby/etc.) this could easily be done via the AGI mechanism.
