asterisk users - Jun 2004 - Don't want a ring before voice menu

Hi,

Having searched through the mailing list archives and the wiki, I still
don't know how to solve the following problem:

Call is received, phone rings once, then the caller gets the voice menu.

What I want is for the call not to actually ring, but to go straight to
the voice menu. 

How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

If the caller still hears a ring, it's probably due to the incoming
channel being configured for caller-id.  CID info is passed between ring
1 and ring 2.

You are using analog lines? If so, asterisk has no way of knowing the
phone is ringing, until it rings.
