Delay before dialing and timeout for each entry? I think I follow your choice in words there, your saying - forgive possible stupid syntax - something like 'tech/id[delay:timeout]' where delay determines how long before dial even tries that device and timeout is the same thing as the overall dial timeout - only it applies per device. This would mean that you could have one phone start ringing, a few seconds later start ringing another phone, and then while the second phone is still ringing, stop ringing the first phone? Did I follow your thought process correctly there?
Yes. The per-entry timeout would apply to how long _that_ entry had been ringing, not how long since _any_ entry started ringing, and would be optional (in which case that entry would stop ringing along with all the others when the master timeout expires).
Thinking this through, before you put too much into implementing this, it might be a good idea to merge Dial and RetryDial because this whole concept of a dial list would need the functionality of RetryDial. Come to think of it, maybe it would be easier to create a 'DialList' app? Just letting my mind wander here... feel free to use your judgment.
Yes, DialList() was my work-in-progress name already :-) It might be possible to merge RetryDial()'s functionality in, but I haven't really looked yet. I wasn't planning on working on this seriously for another couple of weeks...
