I'm using the originate command from Erlang, specifying a timeout of 30 seconds. It is properly giving up on dialing, but it's still returning a call UUID instead of an error/timed out status.
How are you doing an originate, and what 'UUID' are you getting back? The way I do it is I do an bgapi originate with origination_uuid set and I poll for that UUID 10 times every 100 milliseconds to see if its up. Even if you originate a channel that's going to ring out the channel will be up for that period and so you can connect to it and receive the HANGUP event with the cause code to see what happened. See the init() function in http://github.com/Vagabond/OpenACD/blob/master/src/freeswitch_ring.erl for an example. Its ugly but effective. Andrew
