Thanks again for the idea Nic!  This does seem like a great way to do 
what I need, but it doesn't seem to work!

I have added the statement

rtptimeout=60

Into my extension for the Nokia E60. Then I reloaded asterisk.

I tried just now to call through my gateway and then walk out of wifi range.

The console continues to show me 2 active channels 1 active call, even 
after the minute (or several minutes) have passed?

Any thoughts on why this doesn't work in 1.2.12?

Thanks again.
