asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Follow Me & Music on hold

OK, I have an extension setup with a follow me like so:

;Operator Going to Sue first, then Mary
exten => 0,1,playback(pls-wait-connect-call)
exten => 0,2,Dial(SIP/103,20,mTt)
exten => 0,3,Dial(SIP/102,20,mTt)
exten => 0,4,VoiceMail(u0@mycontext)
exten => 0,5,Goto,t|1


This works well except for the fact that the music on hold stops after the 
first timeout and starts over at the beginning of the next line. What I mean 
is that the music sort of skips a beat (so to speak) when * stops ring 
extension 103 and starts ringing extension 102.

Can someone suggest a better/smoother way to do this so the music just 
continues to play until both extensions timeout?

What about calling them both at the same time, not sequentially:

exten => 0,1,playback(pls-wait-connect-call)
exten => 0,2,Dial(SIP/103&SIP/102,20,mTt)
exten => 0,3,VoiceMail(u0@mycontext)
exten => 0,4,Goto,t|1

asterisk -rx "show application Dial"

would have told you this!

Thanks but I am aware of this method, I am trying to get the sequential 
method to work.
