Yeah, there's some wackyness (wackiness?) during call setup, and it 
usually manifests itself as a big ugly dropout on an outbound call too. 
I have been experimenting with the whole RINGING, WAIT, ANSWER sequence 
of steps at the beginning of my inbound contexts to get just the right 
amount of time to settle the call down.

However, I'm not sure if I should be doing RINGING, ANSWER, WAIT or 
some other sequence of events, or just RINGING(n) then ANSWER.

Anyone know if WAIT is not advisable to workaround the problem Noah's 
asking about?
