asterisk users - Apr 2005 - X100P delayed ring on incoming calls?

I have setup an asterisk box with 3off X100P cards and hooked them up to
the PSTN. So far so good, everything does what it is supposed to do for
the msot part.

Incoming calls seem to ring three or four times before asterisk then
skips to do what it is supposed to do. If the caller drops the call
before the extensions have started ringing asterisk seems not to pick
this up and carries on regardless.

Anyone got any ideas?

This was built from CVS.

This sounds like the CallerID problem. * is trying to get the ID, but
the UK's method is different to the default, so it does not get an ID it
finally gives up and processes the call. Look for UKCaller ID settings
in the archives or Wiki. (I left the UK 12 years ago so I've never
looked at it).

3-4 rings seems kind of long, I usually see 1.5-2 (enough to grab the
caller ID here in the States).

The only way I know of to speed it up is to turn off all of the
features like distinctive ring detection, caller ID, etc. -- depending
on your usage, that may help some. I haven't confirmed that this
actually does anything myself, but it seems logical that Asterisk
could pick up quicker if it wasn't waiting for caller ID. This is what
people suggest if you Google the list.

Either way, the best I've ever managed on the X100P's was 1 ring
before Asterisk picks up and starts doing its thing.
