Try using the Local channel type:

Channel = Local/00982166501553 at default
Context = sip-extensions
Exten = 0041435215301
Priority = 1
CallerID = 00982166501553

(use whatever context contains your SIP extensions)

This will place the call to your PSTN number first, and when that is answered,
it will call the SIP extension and connect the call to it. You ought to think
about how the person answering the PSTN extension will know what is happening.

Cheers
