asterisk users - Nov 2005 - escaping to an extension while listening to voicemail message

Guys.

I was wondering, some voicemail systems let you escape to another extension
or context while listening to the voicemail greeting, for example, for
leaving faxes, like "Hi, you have reached XXX, if you want to leave a fax,
press 5 now, otherwise stay to leave voicemail".

Can this be done on asterisk?

See "show application voicemail"  Pay special attention to the notes 
about the "o" and "a" extensions.

The operator and * extensions? 

Let me check that out.

Ok, I guess I can tie something up to the * extension....  Thx for the tip
Eric.
