asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Cisco 76XX - How to ignore a call (silence ring)

I am preparing to setup a system using Cisco 7940 and 7960's I have the
7.1 SIP firmware on them.
One issue I have run into is how to silence the ringer if a call comes
in and you don't want to take it.
Many phones have a DND button. I know the 79XX has the DND in the menu
but it is to cumbersome to go into the settings then phone preferences
then the DND and select yes.
Is there any other way this can be achieved to silence the ringer if a
call comes in and the person doesn't want to take it?

Thanks!

I've asked the Cisco TAC about this, and they told me I needed to
submit a "feature request" with my VAR.

If you bought your phones through a Cisco reseller with some clout,
I'd encourage you to submit a feature request for DND that does what
DND does on all other phone systems.

Matt,
I purchased all my phones from Ebay auctions. Maybe someone else out
there has access to a VAR to submit this request.
Thanks,
