Thanks for the response - I am using Trixbox though and it doesn't really allow me to make that sort of change (at least as far as I can tell).
After reading further, it appears that the setting that has an effect on calls being answered is usecallerid=yes/no and Asterisk is supposed to wait for the caller ID information to be sent. So sometimes this is not happening. I wonder if this has anything to do with me using a Sangoma A200 card and not a Digium?
