Not "call" (implying dial()), "goto" a new context (so we have a "clean 
environment"), where we have a dial() command. You want to put the goto in 
the context that is set in iax.conf for 200.

You executed dial. This is what a goto would look like:

I think we should set the AGI aside until you have it working in the 
dialplan.

Yes. Once you have this working in your dialplan with "hard-coded" values, 
you want to look through the documentation for your AGI library and see 
how to set a channel variable. I'm not a Java programmer and I don't know 
which library you are using, but I'm guessing it would look something like 
"getChannel().setChannelVariable('SECONDS-REMAINING', '60')." In the C 
library I wrote, it is 'agi_set_variable("STATUS", "SUCCESS").'
