That is right, it does not time out and never will correctly since the 
X100P 'seizes' the line from the phone company immediately upon dialing 
so the X100P does not know whether the far end  phone is ringing, is 
busy or if someone has answered. I believe it would take getting some 
type of digital interface (T1 or ISDN) in order to have far end answer 
supervision.
