[asterisk-users] Asterisk forward call

[motty.cruz]

Thanks John, 
I was trying to find a way to work around the partial ring. Ignoring is what
I'm doing now wait(8) seconds but when the number not being forward that
means there is a delay of 8seconds before phones start ringing. 

Thanks, 
motty

Call forwarding ALWAYS sends a partial ring to the line. This is by design
from ESS 1 days, and serves to remind the party that the line is forwarded.
Asterisk certainly can be configured to ignore the first ring in any number
of ways.
