I need a new Timeout parameter added to the Dial application, for SIP dialing. The new timeout would be "first-ring" timeout, as opposed to timeout for connection. If we don't get a 180 Ringing message before a certain amount of seconds, the call fails. This a needed addition to Asterisk. I need this in version 1.4 and cannot wait the normal time for a "new feature" process to complete. The rationale is clear: many carriers will hold the call indefinitely, instead of returning a 503. If the call is ringing, then I don't care if it rings for 60 seconds, but if there is no ringback before 6 seconds, I need yo try another carrier and move on.<div>
