asterisk users - May 2006 - Delay when ringing internal extensions on incoming zap call

I have a TDM400P with 2 FXO cards and I'm using Asterisk@Home 2.8

I noticed that when I place a call to the analog lines from outside,
Asterisk takes a while to actually ring the extension the call is
being sen to.

I've been doing some tests, calling from my cellphone and here is what I
see...

- After the first ring on my cell, Asterisk logs to the CLI that is
has an incoming call
- After the second ring, it kicks off part of the incoming call context
- After the third ring, it does the rest which then causes my SIP
phone to start ringing.

As a result, the caller hears 3 full rings before I even hear my SIP phone ring.

How can I speed that up, or is this "normal"?

I'm using Asterisk@Home 2.8 and I set the trunks to answer immediately
and I disabled fax detection in zapata.conf, but none of this helped.

If I call my Asterisk box via my BroadVoice VoIP number, my SIP phone
starts to ring even before I hear the first ring on my cellphone.

X100P and Asterisk 1.2.7.1 here;
simple config to ring SIP extension (ATA-186) on incoming call from the POTS
line.

I experienced about a 1-ring lag between the SIP phone and the rining on the
POTS line.

I fixed this by setting:
usecallerid=no
in zapata.conf

(I do not have callerID service on my POTS line anyway). I assume that Asterisk
is waiting to see the caller ID data between ring 1 and ring 2 in order to be
able to switch based on caller ID data (which never comes). Disabling it allows
it to not have to wait.

Not sure where this additional lag is coming from. Could be something inherent
in
your SIP phone I guess (my only SIP experience is with Cisco ATA 186).
