[Asterisk-bsd] hangup detection

[Brian Buhrow]

	The application reference at www.voip-info.org for Asterisk is quite
complete.  The dial plan language is fairly rich and flexible, except for
the feeling that I'm programming in Applesoft BASIC with line numbers
again.

P.S.  In the sample I sent you, it might be avvisable to set the RETRIES
variable in the initial extension, just so  you don't get any undefined
values when you try to do the first addition operation in the timeout
extension.
