[Asterisk-Users] Migrating home POTS VM to Asterisk VM

I'm working on migrating my home POTS phone system into an Asterisk PBX.
Currently I have my FXO and FXS setup and working great. Zapateller is nice!

I'm working on my voicemail now and currently have my 3 mailbox
answering machine plugged into my FXS along with all my other analog
phones. I'd like to slowly migrate away from the FXS answering machine
in favor of Asterisk Voice Mail.

Currently a caller can press *3 to leave me a message in my own mailbox
on the FXS machine. Is there any way that I can make Asterisk monitor
the line after the machine has picked up and if it detects a *3 dump the
user into my Asterisk voice mail box but for everything else just let
the user leave a message on the normal machine?

It was suggested on #asterisk that I could possibly accomplish this with
a conference and AGI script but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing that.

Thanks for any suggestions!
Chris
