[asterisk-users] Continuing after a TIMEOUT(absolute)

[Brendan Sterne]

CF,

When I comment out the timeout the call continues as expected.  I  
believe the timeout is kicking in.

Can anyone point me to an example where TIMEOUT(absolute) is used as a  
general timer, where the call continues after the expiry?  I'm not  
sure which extension to use "T" or "t".  I've tried both but neither  
seem to work.

Cheers,
- Brendan
