asterisk users - Jun 2008 - decrease the time it takes for asterisk (fxsks) to answer

Morning list,

Was curious if it is possible to decrease the time asterisk takes to
answer an incoming call to a zaptel interface.

Example:

[Jun 11 09:33:06] VERBOSE[4489] logger.c:     -- Starting simple
switch on 'Zap/2-1'
[Jun 11 09:33:10] NOTICE[4489] chan_zap.c: Got event 18 (Ring Begin)...
[Jun 11 09:33:12] NOTICE[4489] chan_zap.c: Got event 2 (Ring/Answered)...
[Jun 11 09:33:12] VERBOSE[4489] logger.c:     -- Executing
[s at from-zap:1] Dial("Zap/2-1", "SIP/sv0071iv") in new
stack

Asterisk first sees the incoming call at 09:33:06, but +4 seconds
later it detects the ring, then +2 more seconds it answers and execute
our extensions.conf programming.

Here is our zapata.conf:

---
[channels]
language=en
context=from-zap

usecallerid=yes
busydetect=yes
busypattern=500,500
busycount=3
callprogress=yes
progzone=us

signalling = auto
group = 1
channel => 1-24
group = 2
channel => 25-48
---

Thought immediate=yes might fix the problem, but seems to have no
affect.  Below is its description.

---
;
; Specify whether the channel should be answered immediately or if the simple
; switch should provide dialtone, read digits, etc.
; Note: If immediate=yes the dialplan execution will always start at extension
; 's' priority 1 regardless of the dialed number!
;
;immediate=yes
