MG>> hasn't enabled Caller ID yet :-(.  Also, I believe there is a maximum 

MG>> setting for S0 is 5...



MG>> In the case of the Courier, you can have it set to S0=2 and the modem

MG>> still answer after only 1 ring since it detects the Australian ring as 

 PL> two

MG>> rings...  Hmm - I wonder which ring pattern our
"normal" ring will be 

MG>> detected as when we finally get distinctive ring in an Aussie SDL?



 PL> I do not think so. I tried a courier and had it set to answer after the 

 PL> second

 PL> ring. It worked fine because the mailer actually causes the modem to 

 PL> answer not

 PL> the modem itself. When testing I found that each "pair" of rings 

 PL> (ring-ring) is

 PL> only detected as one ring. So ring-ring ring-ring is detected and 

 PL> reported as

 PL> being 2 rings.



 PL> It is actually the phone devices that generates the ring pattern you 

 PL> hear.

 PL> That's why you have to use certain types of phone with
"multiple number"

 PL> (distinctive ring) to hear the different ring tones.



More proof of this is the fact that I have a fax switch here, that

(with the flick of a switch) can be changed to send an american ring or 

and Australian ring to the phone.



Hmmm.....I wonder if that could be an advantage, when using a modem that

doesnt hear our australian ring tones....never tried it in that situation.



Could be one way of making a cheap clone answer on ring in this country.
