[Asterisk-Users] How to generate "ringing tone" to a calling party.

[Chad Scott]

I thought Asterisk would indicate ringing on the PRI if it hadn't 
answered it yet.  If you answer the PRI and then Dial() don't you get 
silence?

Since he says he's played a welcome message, I'd think the line has 
been answered and therefore he has to indicate ringing to the dialing 
party with ",r".

I might be wrong, though.
