The priority after Dial should check either the value of DIALSTATUS or 
HANGUPCAUSE to determins what you should play to the caller.  See 
README.variables in the docs directory and "show application dial" in 
the CLI.  See extensions.conf.sample in the configs directory, pay 
special attention to the macro-std-exten.
