[asterisk-users] Zap channel shows "answered" as soon as outbound ringing starts

[yusuf]

Hi,

I had this problem; when dialing to a Zap channel, it was "answered" as soon as the ZAP phone 
started to ring.  This is because I had callprogress=yes in zapata.conf.  Whne I disabled it, it 
fixed this problem.  I hope this helps!
