David - The outgoing call will be answered by another device in just a few seconds. However, it takes another 10-15 seconds for the legacy network to complete the call set-up and to establish the speech path. We want the message to continue for an arbitrary period to allow time to set up the complete speech path. (Otherwise the caller gets silence and may abandon the call.)
I would be interested in seeing your dialplan. Thanks.

Reason I ask is that I have a couple of macros that do almost what you want to implement privacy manager on my system... Esentially plays a please hold message until a seperately dialed line accepts the anonymous caller.
