[Asterisk-Users] How to present a dialtone to a dial-in user?

[B. J. Bomar]

If you really want to just listen to the dial tone, you could use the
Playtone(dial) app.  Do a "show application Playtone" for more info.

At the CLI do "show application DISA"  While you're at it do a "show 
applications" so you know what applications Asterisk has.
