[Asterisk-Users] External access to voicemail

[Keith D'Atrio]

Instead of using playback for your vm sounds try the Background command. This command allows interruption by hitting a key.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] External access to voicemail


in my setup i have several users with DID lines coming in from various sip/iax providers. within our old phone system, a user could call their own DID line, then hit the * key when they hear their voicemail greeting and be prompted for their password. 
 
is there any way this could be replicated within asterisk? i'm having trouble figuring it out since it steps through things sequentially, whereas i want to scan for input during the playback. 
 
any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
regards,
