You can set the ring count to a lower value, such as 2, in voice.conf.

This is old.

Please download 1.1.21 from somewhere on ftp.greenie.net

However, your problem is simply that you have rings set to 6 or
more, and the caller doesn't wait that long. Either make so that
the caller rings more, or diminush the number of required rings.
