asterisk users - Jun 2004 - Dialing delay when using Zap channels

Good day,

I've got around to installing an X100P card in my computer to try out 
asterisk. I noticed (and people who were testing with me also noticed) that 
when dialing from my SIP soft phone to the PSTN, the ringer tone changes 
after 2-3 seconds, precisely when the Zap channel takes over the call.

Is it possible to eliminate the first ringing? Is there a reason to this 
delay-before-choosing-a-channel?

Thanks,
--

Remove the evil "r" option from the Dial line in Asterisk.
