[Asterisk-Users] Sending call to analog then to Vmailaftertimeout?

[Me]

I was trying this logic before, I got as far as going into the Macro,
playing a message and then.. Well... I got lost, I am not sure how to go
about require them to press a button. Normally I can make someone press an
extension but from what I read about Macros in * you have to stay within the
"s" extension.

Any idea where I can find an example of this sort of thing?

Thanks!
