Someone will probably tell you with more certainty, but (you don't say but I assume you are talking about FXO) the Caller ID normally comes in between the first and seconds rings, I think you can tell asterisk not to get the CID but if you don't, it waits for it.
Also, I remember reading in a modem manual something about the number of rings you had to let your modem ring before doing an auto answer, I think Telecom (Australia's government owned telco at the time, now Telstra) required 2 rings. This was 15-20 years ago though.
