I did this in 1.2 by hacking on app_meetme.c.

The "feature" was:

If an agent was disconnected, start a timer so that if the agent (or 
supervisor) didn't [re-]join within 15 seconds, then kick the caller to 
the next step in the dialplan.

I added the code to conf_run() (an ugly 1,000 line function) to detect 
when the caller was "lonely."

Looking at the code now (several years later) I realize I added my 
"lonely_timeout" to conf_run() instead of to the ast_conf_user structure 
so the timer was shared amongst all callers -- oops.

Thanks in advance,
