i would go with a default of 45 seconds  but allow the user to set the
there own time.  if connection attempt times out the called machine should
send a connection time-out back so the caller doesnt sit theer waiting. 
if call redirect the client could send a message back saying call is being
redirected simmiliar to what the telcos in Australia do with Cell Phones.

the clients end should ring untilthe call is answered or redirected  just
the same as if it was a telephone.
