I've tried ignorepat => 9, but that only seems to work within a 
context.  If my context does a Goto after a 9 (into a different 
context), then the ignorepat doesn't seem to have an effect.  And 
putting it in the resulting context doesn't have an effect, either, 
because the dialtone is already cancelled.

But, this isn't a big deal, we can live without it.  I just thought 
there might be a way.  If I could do a Backtround(Playtone()), that 
would do what I want...

Thanks for the suggestions!
