I just realized that I came up with a way to use DISA and still allow for voicemail-like activity. Set background() to play your greeting and then program in an exten with 9 which would then point you to your DISA dialtone. If the caller doesn't press 9, have them go to the general "leaving a message" stage or whatever you want to do with real callers.
