asterisk users - Oct 2003 - No 'ringing' sound to outside callers

Most of the time, when someone calls in from the outside on a POTS line, 
and possibly over IAX as well,  they don't hear any ringing sound while 
the internal SIP phones ring.  If you call from an inside SIP phone, 
even forcing it into the incoming context, you hear the ringing.

The outside calls can answer and talk fine; just no ring indication.  Is 
there a setting that controls this?  Thanks.

Hi,
r in Dial statement in extentions.conf has to provide ringing tone to the 
calling party. It is described in the documentation.

However, I experience similar behavior (no ringing tone) although I have 
Dial(SIP/whatever,20,r) in extentions.conf

This happens every time when there is a call from SIP to H233 (OH323) or 
from H323 to SIP

If I dial SIP to SIP on the same extention then *there is* ringing 
indication.

I wander myself how to fix this problem.
