asterisk users - Jun 2005 - How to handle one incoming call on multiple lines?

Hi,

I have connected 4 analog public telephone lines to an Asterisk server using a 
Digium TDM400P card and that working fine. But my 4 lines are connected to 
each other in a group by the telecom operator. So if someone calls me all 4 
lines are ringing. I wrote a AGI script which will handle the incoming calls, 
but before it decides to answer the call or not the next channel is ringing 
and the script is started again. How can I create a situation that after the 
first ringing channel is coupled to a script the other channels are still 
ringing for the same call?

Regards,
Erwin

Isn't it easier to talk to your Telco, and tell them to just ring the
first free line, instead of all 4?
