- I am not sure what you mean. Modem has not control over the rings.
- The incoming rings and the delays between them are set by your
- local central office where your telephone line terminates. All the
- modem can do is to detect a ringing voltage.
-
- When the modems dials out, it does not ring anything either.
- The central office on the other end accepts your call, and applies
- ringing voltage there. There are Bellcore standards which
- describe the ringing specs for US market.
