Regarding this question, I just saw that on the Asterisk-CVS list as a 
change to app_voicemail.c:

 "If the caller presses '0' (zero) during the prompt, the call jumps to\n"
 "priority 'o' in the current context.\n"
+"If the caller presses '*' during the prompt, the call jumps to\n"
+"priority 'a' in the current context.\n"
 "If the requested mailbox does not exist, and there exists a priority\n"
 "n + 101, then that priority will be taken next.\n"

So you can press '*' or '0' and get into VoiceMailMain... probably could make it
'#' with a little search-and-replace.

This also is another answer to checking for a valid VM box as well.

THANKS, as always, to the developers!
