[Asterisk-Users] Suggestions for using AbsoluteTimeout

	I just discovered an 18 hour call to Brazil that was 60 seconds of
an employee calling a customer, then 18 hours and 47 minutes of background
noise in their office. The Cisco 7960's have an issue where you sometime
don't realize the phone is still off hook as was the case for this call. 
	I'd like to use some options like AbsoluteTimeout, which would jump
in the middle of a call every 60 minutes, and ask the calling party (for
outbound calls only) to press 1 to continue. The problem I find with
AbsoluteTimeout is that the call is disconnected BEFORE it reaches the T
extension. Is there anyway to temporarily interrupt the call then reconnect
the call when the user hits 1? 

	Any ideas?
