Dunno, I have data for the 4 different ring types supported by the
US/Canada SDL, but nobody appears to know the distinctive ring type and
duration locally (or if they do, they're not telling).  Once that info is
available, it should be a simple matter to have that ring type added to one
of the four remaining available registers in the Courier, if it isn't
already supported.

I'd be more interested to hear who actually approved it.
