[Asterisk]

have a look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+zap+channels

Here it tells you that you can specify a wait period.

Here are some examples of complete Dial commands as they might appear in 
your Dialplan 
<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+extensions.conf>:

   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1)            ; Ring extension on channel 1
   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1r2)          ; Ring extension on channel 1 with distinctive ring #2 

   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1,30)         ; Ring extension on channel 1 with 30 second timeout 

   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/2/5551234)    ; Dial 5551234 on channel 2
   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/2c/5551234)   ; Dial 5551234 on channel 2 with answer confirmation 

   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/2/ww5551234)  ; Wait 1 second then dial 5551234 on channel 2 

   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/g1/5551234)   ; Dial 5551234 on the first available channel in group 1 

   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1-2/1234)     ; Dial 1234 on span 1, port 2
   exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1-2/c1234)    ; Dial 1234 on span 1, port 2, with PRI clear channel option
