Hmm, I'm running the same code, only difference is that mine is a single
board, but I wouldn't expect that to be the cause of the difference...
I found that flashing back to the latest Austel code gave it the normal
operation so it seems safe to assume that its the US code that is doing it.
Perhaps you are running the Austel code or you only last checked it when
you were running the Austel code...

 PC> On the phones front i have two phones here a
 PC> General Electric desk phone that emits the two rings as normal and one

 PC> during the long pause between the ring-rings that a std phone makes.

I think from that it could be said that the desk phone is compatible with
distinctive ring, while the cordless is not.  That would be what I would
expect anyway...
