Not exactly a suggestion, but a cool idea comment. The above section
would be cool for setting up periodic commercials during MOH.
So maybe with that idea, a way for you to either periodically toss to a
macro/extension such that the dialplan could decide what message to play
at the time. For instance, the calling card people might want to toss to
a macro that not only informed the user of time passage, but of time
remaining.
Some really cool thoughts come to mind with the ability to reenter the
dialplan at predetermined intervals.
