I have a very similar issue - if I am not using caller id, can I have
asterisk pickup a zaptel channel immediately ?<br><br>
Ben's problem is exactly the same as my ALIT test problem, if it took two
full rings for asterisk to answer it would not have ever been a problem
for me. His issue is not from a ringing detect glitch so the solution has
to be different, but asterisk should not be committed to answer after
detecting only a bit of ringing.<br><br>

<font face="arial" size=2>I have incoming lines hooked to asterisk using
X100Ps. Unfortunately, when we cal forward our lines using the
phone company, the line still rings about a half of a time. This is
enough to get * to start simple switchand after my 2 second wait, answer
the line. Unfortunately, * doesnt see the hang-up, and it loops
until absolute time out. This can be quite a problem since the
office is pretty busy, and we end up with * being constantly busy.
This makes is so that we cant UN-FORWARD the line.<br>

<font face="arial" size=2>What I need to do is have * not answer the call
unless the line rings TWICE. Ive tried a wait before answer, but
all that does is wait x seconds after the first ring. * ends up
picking up the line and getting dial-tone. Not good.<br>
