I think a better approach would be to use the externnotify option in 
voicemail.conf.  This lets you specify a script that gets executed when a 
voicemail gets created.  That script could create a simple call file to run an 
extension, or anything else that you desire.

example.call
---
Channel: Zap/1
Application: SendDTMF
Data: 200w#86
---

That call file will take Zap/1 off hook, send that DTMF string, and then hang up.

Alternatively, you could also work up something in the 'h' extension.  This 
extension gets executed after a channel is hung up.  However, I think this would 
end up being more complicated to get it to work correctly.
