asterisk users - May 2006 - External Custom Extension Timeout

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting this to work:

I have a ring group that dials an extension and if no answer dials a cell phone.
If the cell phone doesn't answer I want to go to voicemail or another
extension.  I have set the timeout to 15 seconds but it never actually works, it
will just ring until the cell voice mail picks up.

I'm using Asterisk@Home 2.8 and a TDM400P card.

Please, any help is greatly appreciated!

Craig

I'm running Asterisk 1.2.12.1 and Freepbx 2.1.3 and have this problem also.
Also on a TDM400P card.  I've tried setting up a queue, ring  group, 
followme, none of the timeouts are obeyed.
