Delay before dialing and timeout for each entry?  I think I follow your 
choice in words there, your saying - forgive possible stupid syntax - 
something like 'tech/id[delay:timeout]' where delay determines how long 
before dial even tries that device and timeout is the same thing as the 
overall dial timeout - only it applies per device.  This would mean that 
you could have one phone start ringing, a few seconds later start 
ringing another phone, and then while the second phone is still ringing, 
stop ringing the first phone?  Did I follow your thought process 
correctly there?

Thinking this through, before you put too much into implementing this, 
it might be a good idea to merge Dial and RetryDial because this whole 
concept of a dial list would need the functionality of RetryDial.  Come 
to think of it, maybe it would be easier to create a 'DialList' app? 
Just letting my mind wander here... feel free to use your judgment.

Excellent.  I'll see if I can put my money where my mouth is :)  - No 
promises though :(  I will say that I'm willing to help test this once 
its done.
