[Asterisk-Users] Park a call then hunt for a *willing* person

[Philip Warner]

FWIW, I finally got it going using queues. The queue has one member which 
is a Local/x at y number. The context it points to uses Dial with the M() 
option, and it all seems to work...MoH runs all the time, and the caller 
can leave the queue via voicemail.

Thanks for the help etc.
