First, if you don't use the Music on hold command prior to the dial,
do you hear ringing? It seems to me that what's going on here is that
you're overriding the progress notification that results from the
device responding to the invite with "TRYING" or "RINGING" by running
MOH. If the ringing doesn't occur even when you remove the MOH
command, your device is probably not signaling properly and you'll
need to use the "r" option in your Dial command.

Cheers
