But that is not what you asked the first time around.


If you want to change the ringing tone *at the far end* depending on who is 
calling, that's different.  That is just ordinary "distinctive ringing", and 
Asterisk most certainly supports it  (in fact, even analogue phones on an FXS 
card can be given different ringing envelopes; the usual "ring-ring", the 
French-style "riiiiiiiiiiiiiing", or even a "ring-ring-ring").

Your Asterisk at the far end just has to be able to pick up on the caller ID 
so it knows where the call is coming from, and  execute a SipAddHeader() 
statement to set the appropriate ringing tone.

Read the documentation for your phones.  For Digium D40s, look here:
