there is an asterisk agi (may not be an agi but is a program, I think it
was an agi) to do this for radio stations, perhaps a google for that, I
dont remember the exact name used but do remember that someone was
speaking about mass dialing to a radio contest line and bridging to
their phone once it was connected.  I am sure that it can be modified to
do just one chanenl if that is desired.  If it doesnt exist a timeout
could most likely be easily added so that it doesnt continue to dial
after some period has elapsed.  For radio contests you most likely dont
want it to dial all day as the call in parts are short lived.

That works internally but not outside the pbx unless you do infact
redial the number over and over.  Unless that was included in your
definition of 'monitor' which was not clear.
