I'm quite new to *, but I've got this in place in my first rendition, and 
I'm pretty sure it does what you want:

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},15,t)
exten => 101,n,Dial(Zap/4/12185551212,30,tpm)
exten => 101,n,VoiceMail(${EXTEN}@vm)
exten => 101,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => 101,n,Hangup

caller dials extension 101.  It first tries his desk for 15 seconds, then 
it tries his cell over a zap channel (the 'p' turns on call screening), 
then it finally hits voicemail.  In our actual dialplan, the cell phone 
call goes out over sip, so the line looks like this:

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/lesnet/12185551212,30,tpm)

Alternatively, the first line could be:

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}&Zap/4/12185551212,30,tpm)

which would dial both the desk and the cell at the same time...

Hope that helps.
