That depends. ;)  If you define ring as 'single burst of ring voltage',
then it does come after the second ring.  That's how * will have to look 
for it, after all.

It changes if you have Distinctive Ring, though; the first ring signal
becomes a single burst (not sure the duration).  The callerid is presented
after that, and *then* the ring changes to the Distinctive Ring cadence.

The patch that Duane mentioned was to try and get * to recognise the 
presentation of distinctive ring cadence *after* the CID data is detected.  
I don't doubt that there are problems with that patch -- it was my first 
attempt at *-hacking.

But then it would not sound like Australian ring any more ;)  From what I 
can see, the ring cadence you define cannot have 'non-repeating' sections 
like you can do with tones in indications.conf (the 'bang' sections).
