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

[Steve Totaro]

Do you actually have callerID on your line?  That takes about two
seconds.  Try removing it and see how much faster Asterisk answers.

That brings up a question though, on a regular landline with caller ID
the phone rings right away, it just doesn't display caller ID info
until a couple of rings.  Why not have that option in Asterisk?

Thanks,
Steve T
