[Asterisk-Users] Strange Inbound Ring Handling

[Tim Connolly]

You might look at the "r" options in the Dial command. Seems like one of
these should fit:

r: Generate a ringing tone for the calling party, passing no audio from the
called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert this by
default into all your dial statements as you are killing call progress
information for the user. 
R: Indicate ringing to the calling party when the called party indicates
ringing, pass no audio until answered. This is available only if you are
using kapejod's bristuff. 
m: Provide Music on Hold to the calling party until the called channel
answers. This is mutually exclusive with option 'r', obviously. Use m(class)
to specify a class for the music on hold.

Got a wierd one that's reminding me of a problem mentioned in an earlier
post but for the life of me, I can't find it.  So...

Inbound calls via a Voicetronix interface on my Asterisk box are being
properly detected and routed to my dialplan as expected.  It's a simple
plan right now that rings a few internal Voicetronix and SIP stations. 
When the inbound line rings, it's ringing the internal extensions a couple
times then it seems the FXO channel thinks the ringing has stopped so the
stations stop ringing too.  After a second (or two?), the FXO channel gets
the next ring and stars over again.  The result is that internal users
hear a couple rings, a pause, then another couple rings and a pause again.
 A Cisco on my desk is showing 24 missed calls when actually there were
only a few!

Does this ring a bell with anyone (no pun intended)?

Paul

PS: I'm running CVS HEAD on this test machine.
