Hi Pedro,

What you suggest would work but is no good as anybody calling our numbers
would be charged for the call. 

The Dial(,,m) command can play MusicOnHold without answering the call, I
know I've tested it ;-). In this case I just need to give the RTP a kick
start or something, the console reports the MusicOnHold has started playing
but there is no RTP.

Thanks,

Aaron
