It works just fine here.

I have Asterisk installed in my home office. I have a
residential/private number and the business numbers.

I like the private number to ring to the phone on my desk, so I use
the ALERT_INFO to change the ring cadence.

Basically, this is what I do:

exten => xx,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=<Bellcore-dr2>)
exten => xx,2,Dial(SIP/7011|15|r)
exten => xx,3,Voicemail,uxx

Possible values are Bellcore-dr1 through Bellcore-dr5 if memory serves.
