Both roundrobin and rrmemory will ring phones one at a time, for the
length of time given in "timeout", and then if not answered will move
along to the next phone and ring it.

Let's say you have three of more phones in the queue. Phone 1 gets rung
but not answered, then Phone 2 gets rung and is answered. When another
call comes in, roundrobin would start again with Phone 1, but rrmemory
would start with Phone 3, as it was Phone 2 that picked up the last call.

Hope this helps,
Tony
