Just for the lazy one, here is the link to the DIAL command
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+dial

and extracted from it about the timeout
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.

Yes !  I'm missing the great answers to people that don't bother
reading the f****n manual.

Critch, we are really missing you, please come back ! :)
