asterisk users - Apr 2007 - Ring file

When I call into my Asterisk system, before the call is picked up, I
hear a ring tone.

What is that tone called & where is stored and configured.

I'd like to replace the ring with an announcement that is played until
the call is picked up or put into voicemail.

TIA

It can very well be that your TISP is playing that (if you are using 
voip....). The way to test is to have
Exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Playback(tt-monkeys)

If you still hear ringing before it plays the file then there isnt much that 
you can do.

The ring is called "ring" and is defined in indications.conf. Perhaps
you can implement what you desire with music on hold.
