 Putting in _ALERT_INFO as opposed to ALERT_INFO is only going to make
sure that the ALERT_INFO variable is passed on through inheritance
from one channel to the next when the two legs get bridged. So, if
you're setting ALERT_INFO on an inbound call from your peer and then
want that to carry through to your SIP device, then yes, you need to
set _ALERT_INFO. If you're setting ALERT_INFO on the call leg that is
going directly to the device for which you want the distinctive ring,
just setting ALERT_INFO I think should work as well.
