I used bits and pieces that I got from this list and from the wiki and 
made this up - I'm using it on aah - but it should be usable with slight 
modification on any asterisk install.

If you just want busy you'll have to edit the blacklisted1 macro 
currently it plays the SIT sound and then the this number is no longer 
in service message

It usually gets me taken off their call lists pretty quickly  :)
