Jordan said "the SIP device sends the request almost instantly" so it's not the SIP phone's fault. The channel bank probably takes 1-2 seconds to pick up and wait/check for dial tone, 1-2 second dialing, and the telco takes 1-2 second to ring. So the complete PDD is ~5 seconds.
You could try putting a Ringing(); before the dial statement to let the SIP phone know the call is being connected. I believe once progress comes from the Dial command, it will replace the Ringing. However, if your channel bank answers the call right away, this won't help. --Luki _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
