I left something out on that last message, sorry.

With r, not R, it will mask the message with ringing. I could then fail it
over to another dial out, however from testing I've found that my users
expect something to happen within 30 seconds (voicemail, pickup, etc.) The
worse-case scenario would be using r a time of 60 seconds. I've been
thinking of implementing this as a temp fix, but not something I want to
leave in place.
