asterisk users - Jan 2004 - max queue time; newbie question (fwd)

Will that work?  From my read of the code, the timeout parameter is
only checked while the call is being sent to an agent's phone (inside
the try_calling function).  The timeout doesn't seem to be checked
while the user is waiting to get to the head of the queue (inside the
wait_our_turn function).  Unless the ast_waitfordigit function checks
the timeout and I missed it, this solution won't work.

Am I reading the code right?

Set up a queue, with the n option, and dial into it, without
having any agents logged in.  It should drop out after the
timeout expires.  Least that's what my slightly hacked
version does.
