You start sending ringback with Ringing()

You answer with Answer()

What you do in between is up to you.  Many people use something like Wait(2)
to give a "comfort ring", since PRI-connected incoming calls can often be
set up nearly instantaneously.  You'd want to limit the time obviously, and
have proper exception handling in case whatever you're doing between
Ringing() and Answer() fails.
