asterisk users - Dec 2005 - Asterisk Christmas Help request

Many thanks in advance for anyone that can offer help on the following
questions:



Asterisk Box
Using Asterisk@Home build and updated Asterisk to v2.1
P4, 400 Mhz, 384Mb RAM, 40Gb HD
4 OEM X100P Cards

Phones
Grandstream GXP-2000
2 * Grandstream BT-100
HandyTone 486
Sipura SPA-3000


Questions

1)
When someone calls in to one of the FXO lines, there is a 3-4 second delay
before the configured internal extension starts ringing. Is there anyway to
reduce this?

2)
Is it possible to make Asterisk behave like a typical office PBX, in so much
as after I press 9, I then get an outside line and hear the TelCo. dial
tone. Is there anyway to make a phone dial without pressing # key? 
(i.e. so it automatically complete the number by itself. I'd like it to act
like a normal PBX, so after press 9, then here an outside dial tone).

3) 
I get a lot of echo and noise distortion when making an external TelCo call.
Some people say they can't hear what I say.

4)
Is it possible to make a routing, as follows
Dial 8 go to Internet Call
Dial 9 go to TelCo. Call

5) 
How do I change the time zone for Asterisk? Currently the system time is
correct but when I dial *60 it reports a different time (out by many hours).

In asterisk@home console type "config" type to change time-zone

With 4 X100P cards, you are putting an enormous strain on a PC of that 
class.  Consider moving to a TDM400 card.

Not really, Asterisk has to answer and then forward.  That take a little 
time.

Yes, but then you'd loose the ability to control the call.  You can do a:
  *exten => _9.,1,Dial(ZAP/1/9)*

But, at this point you won't be able to restrict anything.  Very bad idea.

Again, move away from the X100P cards

I'm not familiar with this option. Can you please tell me more or send 
me some link.

1. yes turn off fax detect.

2. i have never seen a PBX do this maybe an old key
system. the dial plan is based on the phone. phones
like the Cisco 7960 have easy to configure dial plans
so you don't have to dial #.

3. X100P card are about a crapy as the get. you will
get a loot better sound from a Digium card. You still
mgiht have problems thought. have you thought of goign
all VOIP?

4. yes

5. all this is in the wiki

Could anyone shed some light on this problem:

Running Asterisk @ Home 1.7 

When call comes in (Zap Clone 100 Card), the extensions ring but when
lifting the receiver on an IP phone (BudgeTone 100), I just hear a bit of
crackle sound in time with the ringing of the other extensions. The external
caller still has the ringing sound, so asterisk has not picked up the line.

If I set Immediate Answer to Yes, then Asterisk picks up the line, the
extensions ring and after lifting the receiver of an IP phone the call is
completed (i.e. can talk to the caller).


It doesn't make sense that asterisk knows how to answer the line in the
Immediate Answer Mode but if it does it without Immediate Answer and the
ringing extension's receiver is lifted it fails.


I've rechecked all configurations (both phone and Asterisk) as per setup
guides and kept everything as standard as possible.


I've no idea why I can't have the line answered after the
extension's
receiver is lifted. Any ideas on how to fix this?


Thanks in advance,


Richard
