[Asterisk-Users] Use of Alert_Info with C7960?

Using Asterisk CVS-03/20/04-11:54:56 with 7960 v6.2 and playing around
with distinctive ringing, trying to make it work. Extensions.conf looks like:

exten => 3010,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=3) ; selects Ringer
exten => 3010,2,Dial(SIP/3010,15)                                               
exten => 3010,3,Voicemail2(u3010)      
exten => 3010,102,Voicemail2(b3010)                                  
exten => 3010,103,Hangup 

Calling that extension, the CLI indicates:
    -- Executing SetVar("SIP/3002-39d1", "ALERT_INFO=3") in new stack
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/3002-39d1", "SIP/3010|15") in new stack
    -- Called 3010
    -- SIP/3010-f848 is ringing

On the phone, Settings/Ring Type indicates: Chirp 1, Chirp 2, Old Style
and Synth Low. The first three choices produce different ringing sounds
when selected from the display.

I expected Alert_Info=3 to cause the C7960 to ring with the Old Style
ringer, but it doesn't and setting it to 2 or 3 doesn't make any difference.

Am I doing something wrong?
