Well assuming you're in the US, caller ID is delivered between the first
and second rings, so the card has to wait for two rings before answering,
and will log a message for each ring.

If you're not using callerid, you can tell the card that, by putting into
your /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf the line:

usecallerid=no

Then it will answer after the first ring.

Cheers,
Tony
