asterisk users - Mar 2007 - Sender phone ringing while recipient talking

I've had asterisk running for about a month now between our PBX and our 
T1, and everything seems fine but for one simple nit-pick: When a call 
to the outside workd is made, and if the recipient picks up while a the 
sender's phone is still relaying the ring, the sender won't be heard 
until after the ring stops. This often translates a simple "hello?"
into
a "lo?" or even "*long pause* hello, is anyone there?"

Is there a way to immediately stop the ring when a pickup is detected?

Thanks,
Nathan Bell

How does your dial statement look in extensions.conf?  Does it have the
r option for your PSTN route?

Are you using the option r in your Dial string?  If so, remove it.

It creates an artificial ring and can be helpful when the telco or
carrier does not provide ringing (which they should).
