I think when a PSTN line says 'Ring' it's simply for aesthetics... The
line is 'answered' the instant * connects to it for two-way audio...
(well not that instant but somewhere in the connection process. When
you are hearing ringing from the PSTN through a zap card, the rings are
coming from the phone company and are just sound. * doesn't decode that
and act on it yet.)

Hello list
I'm trying to setup asterisk as an answering machine.
How can I set asterisk to Answer() incoming call ONLY after specified
count of ring cycles ?
In the current situation I have the PBX connected to a home line,
where POTS device are also connected on the same circuit. What I'm
trying to do is allow a grace period where a POTS device could be
picked up and those stop the ring indication on the line by this
causing asterisk to not answer the call.
In present situation even if the incoming phone call is taken off hook
by a POST device asterisk still starts playing its incoming call IVR
after the specified(where?) number of seconds.
I don't think you can do that, since asterisk has no way to know when
the shared PSTN line is answered by your analog phones...
I don't think asterisk "counts" the rings, as much as it waits for
"answered" status, which it is never going to see in your current
configuration.
I am a relative newb though, so maybe someone else here has a
brilliant idea for you?

You have a point but no way am I going to accept that as an answer.
Here's the log off such case :

As you can see, the first two events are "event Ring" and "event Ring/Answered".
What I need is the driver of chan_zap.c counting 5 "event Ring" before
starting Ring/Answered.
It can't be that hard (I think).
Thank you for your answer.
