asterisk users - Feb 2006 - ~1 sec delay from callee answering to call established on dialout

Hi,

I've been using Asterisk (now version 1.2.4) for quite a while, and I'm
trying to switch from POTS lines to a VOIP termination service.  I've
had this problem with a few services I've tried, so the problem must be
on my end.  Here's what I see:

When dialing out, I hear rings, and the call connects.  But by the time
the call connects, the callee has already said 'hello' and there's
just
silence while he waits for me to speak.  (One of my friends has already
learned that it's me calling when that happens!)

I wish I had more information, but that's about it.  I've seen some
other posts about this that went unresolved.  This didn't happen when I
used to use the FXO card.  If it's relevant, this happens with my soft
phone, my cordless (and FXS card), and cell phone (dialing in then
DISAing out).  This also happens on incoming calls, but I care less
since I have the Wait command.

Any help greatly appreciated!

	John

Hi John,

Are you dialing SIP to your Voip termination service?  I have had this 
before with a SIP device, where the SIP device sends CAlll Progress 
instead of ringing.  Do a SIP debug
