asterisk users - Dec 2003 - Interesting problem

I have three cisco 7910 phones connected to * through skinny protocol.  When
one of the phones is called, and the phone is ringing, you can hear what's
going on in the room even though the caller hasn't answered.  It's crazy
and
very hard to ignore when someone is calling :)  God forbid you should cough
while the phone is ringing.

If you call the Dial application without the "r" option, that should
be
fixed. The Skinny driver has a funny way of providing Ringback: It just
switches audio through while ringing...
If you still need ringback, try doing it explicitly like this:

exten = 123,1,Ringing
exten = 123,2,Dial(Skinny/line@phone)
; do NOT add |r or ,r here!        ^

HTH,
