Hmm.  I set something up just about like that, viz:

**************
Channel: Zap/1/12125551212
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30

Application: Playback
Data: testMsg

*****************

And here is what asterisk does with it:

     -- Attempting call on Zap/1/12125551212 for application 
Playback(hibob) (Retry 1)
        > Channel Zap/1-1 was answered.
        > Lauching Playback(hibob) on Zap/1-1
     -- Playing 'testMsg'

     -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'

It looks to me like asterisk is playing the message for the amusement of 
the dial tone!!

Thanks in advance if anyone can set me straight here. . .
