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

[lesouvage]

The whole idea of TIMEOUT(absolute) is to end to call after a certain  
time. My advice is to explain what you are trying to achieve, there  
might be a solutions but I doubt you will find it while using  
TIMEOUT(absolute). If the dial plan reaches the t or T extension there  
are, as far as I know,  no (bridged) legs of a call left, just some  
channel variables you can use.
