Without trying to be rude, if you don't understand contexts and how to
make different phones/users show up in different contexts, then you may
not be ready to think about demoing the software. You are still a long
way from being able to implement.

But to answer your question in hopes to get you to the desired point.
Make a context in extensions that will host your outside line. This is
where that phone will pick up all calls, probably no matter what the
extension used and then do a goto to the IVR you script up. The internal
phone sits in a different context and is accessible from a extension you
set up, or several extensions.
