It would be in your dialplan. (Untested, OTMH, etc) Dialplan:

[from-analog-lines]
exten => s,1,Wait(2)
exten => s,n,Answer()
exten => s,n,Play(tt-monkeys)
exten => h,1,Hangup()

Again, that is untested, just off the top of my head. The key is putting a "wait" before your Answer(). A phantom ring/ring splash should fade away before the Wait() period is finished, therefore not hitting your Answer() or Dial() or whatever you have causing all sorts of panic and grief. :-)
