I suppose you could write a pretty simple perl (or whatever script)
that could continually check the channel status and if idle, create a
.call file with NXXNXXXXXX (variable set in script) and then loop it
to dial NXXNXXXXXX + 1 or monitor the AMI for the Hangup event.

I think Vicidial is a huge overkill for your description of needs.
You make it sound as if only one person would be dialing one number at
a time and only pause on an answer and only for the duration
connected.
