- Well, there's a pretty easy way to detemine if it's a hardware problem
- or not. Go into a terminal program that will let you type AT commands
- to your modem (Bitcom should do fine).
-
- Type AT-SDR=7
-
- Call your various distictive ring numbers. If the modem is correctly
- detecting the patterns, you'll see "RING1" for a normal ring, "RING2"
- for type 2 etc etc. (see quoted info from Rockwell at end of this
- message)
-
- When I do this test, the Zoom detects my type 2 ring ("short-short")
- as =TWO= "RING1"s.
-
- I know others have no problem with distinctive ring, so my guess is
- this has something to do with the fact that we're in Canada. Perhaps
- the cadences are subtley different from place to place.
-
- Let me know if you get the same results I did. If it doesn't work for
- you either, our case will be a bit stronger if we go to Zoom with the
- situation.

- I don't know what the latest ROM is, actually.
-
- Mine is:
-
- V1.309I-V34_DP -e Z201 (this is the result of ATI3)

- =============================================
- -SDR=n - Enable/Disable Distinctive Ring
- This command enables or disables detection and reporting of
- distinctive ring. The syntax is AT-SDR=n, where n is a number from 0
- to 7. One, two, or three distinctive ring types can be simultaneously
- enabled depending upon the value of n (bit mapped). The detected ring
- type is reported in the long form (verbose) of the result code by
- appending the ring type number to the end of the RING message.
-
- -SDR=0 Disables Distinctive Ring. Any valid ring detected is reported
- as RING (default).
- -SDR=1 Enables Distinctive Ring Type 1.
- -SDR=2 Enables Distinctive Ring Type 2.
- -SDR=3 Enables Distinctive Ring Type 1 and 2.
- -SDR=4 Enables Distinctive Ring Type 3.
- -SDR=5 Enables Distinctive Ring Type 1 and 3.
- -SDR=6 Enables Distinctive Ring Type 2 and 3.
- -SDR=7 Enables Distinctive Ring Type 1, 2, and 3.
