[asterisk-users] Stupid Timeout Question

[Gerald Harshany]

Hi,

It may have to do with the version of Asterisk. I have (basically) the same 
coding on an Asterisk V1.4.18 box, and a V1.6 SVN test box - in both boxes 
the Asterisk does execute the => t,1,Playback(connection-timed-out) when 
nothing is entered.

The only differences I can see between your coding and mine, is that a) I 
simply use the default timeout (i.e., "WaitExten() "); but don't see why 
this matters, and b) I use the "m" option in the Background command, since I 
have a one-key extension. You could try using,

   exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=5)

before the Background command, and see if this works.
