Hi Rich,

The different ring tones are features of the sip phone/adapter. I dont have
any Ciscos, but I do have the Sipura SPA-2000. I'm using ALERT_INFO to set
distinctive rings and it works great. But the name of the ringtone is
different from the one I quoted for the Cisco:

exten => 12,2,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=Bellcore-r3)

Is the phone/adapter job to interpret the alert info and play the acording
ring tone. If the phone expects Bellcore-dr3, you should send that. Best
regards,

Nicolas
