Instead of Background() use Read(). this will allow for any number of
digits.
example:
exten => 1234, 1, Read(var_to_use|prompt_name|number_of_digits_to_accept);
;;;;;then use a goto based on the value of var_to_use.
exten => 1234,2 GoToIf($[${var_to_use} = 1]?new_exten,1:3);
this way you are sent to an extension based on what the user dials. this
will fall through till it matches.

Where there is a will, there's a way:
Assuming you only had one DID, you could:
- Use an auto attendant
- Use a dialplan timeout that dropped to DISA (not so nice)
- Use callerid based redirection (again, not so nice, but available)
- Use a Voicemail breakout option (again, not so nice, but better than
timeout)
- Use a ToD based extension
Probably a variety of other options, depending on the
application/requirements/costs/etc.
