I was successful with using CONNECTEDLINE when issuing an Answer() first, but it added delay and the displayed message didn't show for very long.

Adding something like Wait(10) application should keep it up there.

Coupled with immediate in-band playback of "the line is busy" message could be reasonable solution.

OH what it means to be busy!

You might want to look at GROUP functions as well, to keep track of call counts,
then fork dial plan based on needs eg. Sales only reports busy at 5 calls
but C-Suite is busy at 1 call.
