Thinking about it we may well be able to do this in the UK as one of the complaints I get about Asterisk is that our ring tone has changed to external callers, (the zone is set correctly for zaptel, but it's different from the normal ring tone), so the tones must be coming from the TE405, not just generated as a result of the accept (unless some data in the accept signifies the tones to generate?)

Maybe.. but probably not.. In the UK (and most European countries), the ACCEPT message triggers generation of ringback tone at the calling party's exchange (central office). This is as opposed to the North American way of doing things where the ACCEPT message opens up a one way speech path from the called party to the calling party (originally for providing inband call progress tones I believe). Also, there's a timer on how long you can be in that state without issuing an ANSWER and thus tripping answer supervision/billing commencement. I think technically it IS possible to get UK kit to work in the US fashion, but you have to talk to a switch tech that knows what he's doing, and of course you may get bitten with the "Yeah, it's doable, but we don't have that software feature pack installed on our switch" line.
