:OK, I missed this in the first email you sent... Asterisk is playing
:dialtone *on top* of the background message the first time around?  That
:truly is bizarre.  I have no idea what would cause that.

Correct.

I did some more testing, and found that there is some crazy 
?cross-talk? going on.  If I dial my mobile from that line, two 
caller-id numbers show up, the one that should, and someone else's 
line.  I'm now thinking this is a problem with the installation of the 
phone lines, so I'm now hunting down the installer to have him fix it.

On the bright side, when I was tracking this down I learned Asterisk 
fairly well. ;)
