<div>I'd like to modify the Dial() command to impliment a new flag. I would like a suggestion on how best to do this. I'm a decent programmer but at the same time I hate messing with source and dealing with recompiling the entire package. I'd prefer to do this as a module if possible.

<div>What I'm doing:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dial() already supports dialing multiple lines at once and connecting the first answered line to the user. I want that exact same functionality but would like to be able to space out (or stagger) the dialing of each line. An example might be I want to dial 5 phone numbers with a wait time of 30 seconds. But I want it to try the first number for 2 seconds before starting on the next number. Then at that point it would be ringing 2 numbers (with 2 seconds between when each was dialed).

<div>The purpose of this modification would be to give the main number more time to answer before bothering the other workers with a call that there are better people to handle. I'm not trying to dial 1 person, wait 20 seconds, then dial another person. The user would need to hang on the phone too long for that. And at the same time I don't want it calling everyone at the company at the same moment.
