[Asterisk-Users] Interrupting voicemail with "*", dropping to "a" extension. Does it work?

[John Lange]

I've played around with the lightly documented Asterisk voicemail
feature whereby a caller can press "*" during the playback of the OGM
and be returned to the "a" extension in the context of the voicemail
box.

No matter what, Asterisk does nothing when you press "*". It does not
interrupt the OGM and it certainly does not return to the "a" context.

Watching the console there is no indication of any key press.

Has anyone ever got this working?

Is there an undocumented setting in asterisk someplace which enables
this feature?
