[Asterisk-Users] Why can Asterisk Auto Attendant pick up on firstring?

[James Harper]

Someone will probably tell you with more certainty, but (you don't say
but I assume you are talking about FXO) the Caller ID normally comes in
between the first and seconds rings, I think you can tell asterisk not
to get the CID but if you don't, it waits for it.

Also, I remember reading in a modem manual something about the number of
rings you had to let your modem ring before doing an auto answer, I
think Telecom (Australia's government owned telco at the time, now
Telstra) required 2 rings. This was 15-20 years ago though.
