asterisk users - Apr 2009 - listen to prompt before bridging call.

Hi,
Can someone please help to resolve the followinng issue:

We would like an asterisk user to call a number and when the called party
picks up the phone, we play a message (press 1 to accept call, 2 to reject
call). Only when the called party presses "1", do we bridge the call
and the
two parties can communicate.

What we would like though is that the person who makes the call be able to
listen to the message "press 1 to accept call, 2 to reject call) that is
played to the called party BUT not be able to communicate with him untill he
presses "1".

Is this possible in asterisk using php/agi?

Any pointers hightly appreciated.

but you dont really need both parties listen the same message.
You can call the second partie (a new call maybe origiate action) when he
answer you play both the message in each channel if he press one you bridge
the channels.

you first send rings to the caller then you make a new call and play the
message and then you bridge the calls using the brige app in asterisk 1.6.

I can come up with an easy way to do part of what you want. If you are using the
Dial application, you can use the M option to run a macro on the called channel 
when he answers. Within that macro, you can play prompts to accept or reject the
call.

The problem is that this does not allow for the calling party to also hear the 
prompts.
