If these are inbound calls you are answering, "r" can be acceptable. But ONLY on the final leg where the call might actually be ringing. But for outbound I fully agree.

A second or 2 of dead air is acceptable. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
