[asterisk-biz] Locally vs Server generated ring tones

[Mark]

Zafer,

Thanks, I think this is more of the soluition that I am looking for , as 
I know that ringback generation is ralated in part to call status opn 
many of the Cisco systems. I need to generate ringback WITHOUT answering 
the call, and I know this is not the norm for Asterisk. That is 
precisely why I am seeking this answer as it relates to asterisk.
Mark
