[asterisk-users] decrease the time it takes for asterisk (fxsks) to answer

[Paul Belanger]

Here is our zapata.conf:

---
[channels]
language=en
context=from-zap

usecallerid=yes
busydetect=yes
busypattern=500,500
busycount=3
callprogress=yes
progzone=us

signalling = auto
group = 1
channel => 1-24
group = 2
channel => 25-48
---

Thought immediate=yes might fix the problem, but seems to have no
affect.  Below is its description.

---
;
; Specify whether the channel should be answered immediately or if the simple
; switch should provide dialtone, read digits, etc.
; Note: If immediate=yes the dialplan execution will always start at extension
; 's' priority 1 regardless of the dialed number!
;
;immediate=yes
