I do not think so. I tried a courier and had it set to answer after the
second ring. It worked fine because the mailer actually causes the modem to
answer not the modem itself. When testing I found that each
"pair" of rings (ring-ring) is only detected as one ring. So
ring-ring ring-ring is detected and reported as being 2 rings.

It is actually the phone devices that generates the ring pattern you hear.
That's why you have to use certain types of phone with "multiple
number" (distinctive ring) to hear the different ring tones.
