Anyone?
Basically I don't want to hang up on the called party, just because the 
caller slammed the phone. I would like to be able to continue dialplan 
execution of the called party.

You can do this right now by breaking the bridged call and put them in a 
conference. You can also use flags to the Dial application to do the 
opposite - let the calling party (he who executed Dial) continue if the 
called party hangs up. I would like to do it the other way around..

How do you like to see this implemented? Another option for dial? 
Something else?
