asterisk users - Sep 2003 - ringing tone on analog Zap channel question

Hi all,

can somebody explain me why i can't hear a ringing tone (alerting) if
i'am
going to connect to my destination end point?
Is it basically so that i have to configure like:

	exten => xxx,1,Dial,ChanTec/number|timout|r

Is it really nessesary to use the "r" option everytime if i want to
indicate
a ringing tone? This suggest a wrong call flow for the user ...

Thanks for help,

Thomas.
