G'day Mark

 PC> Well from memory i think my Courier (Austel daughter board model
 PC> running the dec 95 US code) just sends one RING message for the

 MG> Hmm, I'm running the same code, only difference is that mine is

I'll have to take it all back as i just checked and it does return
RING RING for our double ring pattern, perhaps it was an older SDL i
had installed when i last checked.

 PC> On the phones front i have two phones here a General Electric
 PC> desk phone that emits the two rings as normal and one of those
 PC> foldup panasonic cordless phones that emits one long ring during
 PC> the long pause between the ring-rings that a std phone makes.

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

Well the GE phone i about 7 years old and the Panasonic about 3 years
so who knows?.

     Pete.
