asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Hold calling channel and ask called channel before connect???

I am a newbie.  Just got my Asterisk working and I love it.

I want to do the following, believe it should be possible, but can't work
out how:

When I get an incoming call, I want to answer and just send ringing to the
calling channel.
Then I want to call the destination channel, send a message asking if they
will accept the call, get a response (1 or 2) and then either connect the
parties (1) or send the calling channel to voicemail (2).

Any ideas, thanks

Nigel

I posted this a week ago and have had no response.  Can someone tell me if I
am asking a stupid question, i.e. is the answer either obvious or
impossible?

Thanks
