[asterisk-users] time limit

According to
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+Dial#Parameters
the timeout parameter is only in effect if the call is not answered.

> The timeout parameter is optional. If not specifed, the Dial command will wait indefinitely, exiting only when the originating channel hangs up, or all the dialed channels return a busy or error condition. 
Otherwise it specifies a maximum time, in seconds, that the Dial command
is to __wait for a channel to answer__.

Am I missing something?

Thank you
Sim
