[asterisk-users] Default ringtone

[Brent Davidson]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless you pass specific options to the 
dial command to have it override the ringing then when you dial out, you 
hear the audio from whatever channel you're dialing on.  So the tones 
you are hearing are from the telco.  The ring cadences defined in 
indications.conf are used when Asterisk is ringing a phone connected to 
an FXS channel.
