I presume you are talking about an analog FXO port here. The reason
why it takes Asterisk a while before it "picks up" is that it will try
to read the caller ID information which it is programmed to expect
alongside the first few rings and consequently it won't pickup any
earlier.

If you don't need caller ID detection or if you are in a country that
has a different way to send caller ID than the US, you may want to
turn caller ID detection off in the Zaptel driver. Check
/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
