The difference is that you'd have to answer the call, my guess is that it can't be done (by a Joe Average like ourselves), otherwise we'd provide useful information to callers at no charge.....

Are the two cases different in any way? The external call comes in, goes to a context which eventually leads to a Dial(...) calling the internal user. That Dial call provides music to the external caller while the internal call is in progress. Asterisk has no concept of external or internal callers, only channles and contexts.
