Maybe I'll get brave and try this as a patch :)

Danny,

That sounds like a decent idea.  The dial screening macros are not well
documented and difficult to get right (for example: if one channel
returns BUSY and another returns CONTINUE, what happens?).

I feel that this should be an option built into app_followme - if there
were a "confirmation={none,dtmf,voice}" option for each leg, this would
be much easier to implement cleanly.
