[LJ]

In my Asterisk 1.2.9.1 installation I use the following:

in voicemail.conf include the following:

exitcontext=vmlogin
operator=yes

in extensions.conf create a matching context that users are dropped in when 
they dial * or 0 in voicemail:

[vmlogin]

exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(2000)  ; Prompt to login and check VM
exten => a,2,Hangup

exten => o,1,Wait,1
exten => o,2,Authenticate(1234)  ; Authorized access to internal 
receptionist
exten => o,3,Dial(${PHONE2},90)
exten => o,4,Hangup

exten => i,1,Hangup
exten => t,1,Hangup
exten => h,1,Hangup

Is that only available in 1.4? 'exitcontext' does not exist anywhere in my 
default 1.2.x voicemail.conf file.
