asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Hunt group with Accept/Reject Option

Hi,

Could someone please give me some advice on how to get * to perform the 
following :-

Answer incoming call (from IAX Trunk)
Play a prompt to the caller like "Thanks for calling please hold while you 
call is transferred to first available operator"
The caller hears MusicOnHold

Asterisk begins 'hunting' for someone to take the call by dialing
through a
list of 'available' extensions

When an extension is found * dials it and plays a prompt like "You have a 
call, Press 1 to Accept 2 to Reject"  - * will play the prompt several
times
and wait for the operator to respond until timeout.

If the operator accepts the call by pressing '1' the call is transferred
to
them.
if the operator rejects the call by pressing '2' * disconnects from this
operator and 'hunts' for the next available extension
if the operator does not answer or does not respond before the timeout * 
disconnects from this operator hunts for the next available extension

If no operators are available the caller is transferred to voicemail


Thanks

Brendan

Both of the above links outline the same technique.
