Actually, this isn't quite correct. With Asterisk, you can define both the response timeout and the digit timeout (the one you specifically mention above) using the TIMEOUT dialplan function. As for having the system immediately dial out once an extension is matched, it's really up to your dialplan. Asterisk will connect to the extension as soon as there's an *unambiguous* match. Point an analog phone at the context below, and I think you'll see what I'm trying to say. (Obviously SIP phones are different than analog, in that they usually send the entire dialed number at once -- if you're using a SIP phone, you may be encountering a dial timeout on your phone, and not in Asterisk.)
