What you are trying to do doesn't seem to make much sense. First of all 
it sounds like you *really* want to do call parking. Secondly, if you 
hang up, then what are you going to do with the caller? Why not right 
away hang up on the caller - or do you want to collect phone fees from 
him while having him listen to MOH indefinitely? :->

Here's one way to do it: Create an extension that looks like

exten => 333,1,Answer
exten => 333,2,MusicOnHold(default)

and then use # to transfer the caller to that extension. Unless you use 
the manager interface (redirect) or some smart scripting/ dialplan layout 
you won't be able to get back to that caller though. But you didn't say 
that you need to do that. ;->
