How about waiting before answering.  Something like:

exten => s,1,Noop
exten => s,2,Wait(15) ; wait 15 sec
exten => s,3,Answer
exten => s,3,Wait(1) ;needed to keep from upcutting the first meessage
exten => s,4,GotoIfTime(8:30-17:00|mon-fri|*|*?s,6) ; if open
exten => s,5,Goto(Mainmenu,s,1) ; closed - go to Auto attendant

I haven't tried this so I'm not sure if you can call Wait() before Answer.

Cheers,
