Yes, the Auto Attendant does answer calls.
The resulting sequence would be:
1. 20 seconds of ringing.
2. "Please wait while your party is located."
3. 5 seconds of silence.
...
With standard ringing cadence, three rings would take 14 seconds (2 on, 4 off, 2 on, 4 off, 2 on). The Welcome message is played only once. The Menu title and the Menu prompt that is played three times would be a fraction of a second of silence. I was under the impression that the five-second tail was part of the default Menu prompt and would not occur in this scenario.
If I'm wrong about that, a workaround might be to record a DTMF 1 as the Menu prompt, but I don't know whether the GV path has sufficient initial echo for the OBi to "hear" it. I don't want to test that now, being far from the OBi and not wanting to risk doing anything that might need physical access to recover.
If the above doesn't work out, my next suggestion would be to use VoxOx to provide FAS to GV and fork the call.
