As a hipshot without looking at the config manual page, I suspect
they're whatever the USR returns as a RING string.  Assuming you've
enabled that functionality on the modem (an S-register, but I forget
which one), they're *probably* "RING 1", "RING 2", etc.  

Set the modem up appropriately, and call it and find out.

They'd go in config.devid (the file named after your serial port).  On
an RPM install, that will be in /var/spool/fax/etc, I think.

Any modem that can return independent ring strings for distinctive
rings will work; I *think* the USR can, but it will depend on the
firmware.
