Simply generate or record a 5-second sample of ringing. Then use Background() to play that ringing file - if someone presses 9, they will be routed accordingly, or otherwise sent to your default extension.

By this I mean when someone calls me I'd like for them to hear the comfort ringing tones, but for the first 5 seconds I'd like to give them the option of pressing 9 to send the call to an alternate extension; if they don't press 9, the call goes to a default extension. For most callers I just want standard PSTN behaviour, only a select few will be told about the silent 9 option I'm stuck tho because it seems I need the Background command for this to work, but this stops the comfort tones. Any ideas? Here's my attendant script, as you can see I currently have Background commented out so the silent option is non functional.
