<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">I would like to be able to use the dialing extension's voicemail box password to authenticate or as a PIN code in the dialplan. Is there a best method for doing this? I could use AGI scripting but I was hoping there was a built-in dialplan means for doing this. I have used VMAuthenticate but I would like more flexibility than what this offers.</font></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Also, related to this question; is there a "best" or recommended method to determine the dialing extensions voice mail box? I have been using variations of ${CUT(CHANNEL,-,1)} which does work but I just have to be aware of how I name my devices.</font></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Thank you for your help.</font></div>
