[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel fxo & late distinctive ring

[Philip Warner]

I have a TDM400 with an fxo card installed; zaptel.conf is setup for 
distinctive ring, but it only partly works:

Our distinctive rings have the same sound in the very first ring (one long 
tone). After that, they differ. As a result, all calls produce a dring 
signature of 0,0,0.

If I setup the dialplan to immediately hangup, then zaptel hears the next 
ring and reports the different signatures correctly.

This is not ideal for three reasons: (a) the caller id is part of the first 
ring, so it is lost and (b) it means a lot of rings occur before the phone 
is answered and (c) it is inelegant.

Does anyone know of parameters I can set within the zaptel driver or config 
files to cause it to wait a little longer before reporting the dring type? 
Or any other solution...

Thanks again,

Philip Warner
