[Asterisk-Users] Wait for X rings before answering?

[C Stephens]

That's seconds. To get a certain number of rings, just find out the total
cycle time for the ring cadence you're using, then multiply by the number of
rings you want.

For example, the US ring cadence is 2 on, 4 off[, repeat]. So the total time
is 6 seconds per ring. For 4 rings, use 4x6=24.
