Is it possible to have a speed dial on a cisco 7960 which dials the voice
mail number and then dials the extention and password so a user can
just push a single button to get their voicemail?  This is a no brainer
on a regular analog phone where you can do something like 8500p100p1234
where p is a pause that most analog phones let you place in a speeddial,
but on a sip phone how is this done?

You do that on Asterisk in extensions.conf, not on the phone itself. 
Either you simply do not set a pw in voicemail.conf, or you check the 
caller ID of the phone and then decide if you allow or reject access to a 
special extension that calls VoiceMailMain with the 's' option.
