[Asterisk-Users] Music instead of Tunes

[Steve Hanselman]

The difference is that you'd have to answer the call, my guess is that it
can't be done (by a Joe Average like ourselves), otherwise we'd provide
useful information to callers at no charge.....

Are the two cases different in any way? The external call comes in, goes 
to a context which eventually leads to a Dial(...) calling the internal 
user. That Dial call provides music to the external caller while the 
internal call is in progress.

Asterisk has no concept of external or internal callers, only channles and 
contexts.
