Ok - but this doesn't seem to answer my main question:

Why must

progressinband=never

be applied especially if asterisk uses it by default? The big difference
between w/ and w/o it is:

w/o the option progrssinband=never just the sip-package
	183 Session Progress
is sent.

w/ the option set, the additional sip-packages
	100 Trying
	180 Ringing
	180 Ringing
are sent.

If progrssinband=never is the default, the Ringing package should be
sent always, shouldn't it?

If I remove the option progrssinband=never via FreePBX, I can't find any
other value provided to progrssinband in /etc/asterisk/*.


Why does it work always correctly w/ the second trunk, which is
connected directly to the extension?

Is it possible to switch off the standard behavior of asterisk /
progrssinband for ring groups only by setting some other options?



Thanks,
kind regards,
