I was about to post the complete output of "show application dial"  
from the CLI, but then I thought it would seem like I was being a  
smart-ass.  It is extremely informative, though, and I (as someone  
new to asterisk) find myself returning to study it frequently. I  
highly recommend going over it.  In any case, excerpted from that text:

         'm[(class)]' -- provide hold music to the calling party  
until answered (optionally
                       with the specified class.

In other words, Dial(technology/resource,,m) will do what you want.
