[Asterisk-Users] Two Rings

[Jon Pounder]

I have a very similar issue - if I am not using caller id, can I have 
asterisk pickup a zaptel channel immediately ?

Ben's problem is exactly the same as my ALIT test problem, if it took two 
full rings for asterisk to answer it would not have ever been a problem for 
me. His issue is not from a ringing detect glitch so the solution has to be 
different, but asterisk should not be committed to answer after detecting 
only a bit of ringing.
