Yes. I wouldn't be upset if ekiga only tells me when it fails. :-)
It is the way our phone system works here in France. People just dial 
their number. Then then ear nothing for a few seconds. Then the bell 
rings. Then the remote side takes the call :-)
And if something goes wrong, instead of the ringing tone, they ear a 
women voice telling them the cause of the error (usually wrong phone number)

But i bet you now all this, as you're French too :-)
