Here I am... checking e-mail from home before I turn in (what am I doing?).

Is anyone actively working on distinctive ring for HylaFAX?  Not that I am 
aware of.  However, it has not been my knowledge that it was broken, but I 
would certainly not be surprised to learn that it is.  You have to realize that 
in order for someone to be activly developing distinctive ring features for 
HylaFAX... that person needs to 1) be capable of using distinctive ring, 2) 
find HylaFAX distinctive ring features in need of development, and 3) be a 
HylaFAX developer.  Frankly, I'm not sure that this is a combination that 
exists.  I'm not in a position to work on distinctive ring as I'm not 
subscribed to it.  And, although I can tease HylaFAX into doing a few things 
here and there, many things (faxq features, for example) are really beyond my 
current programming capability.

If this feature is crucial to your business and you or your associates are not 
capable of implementing it yourselves, then I suggest that you hire someone to 
make it work for you.  I.e.: send a mail to the -devel list offering 
programming work and remote login for someone to develop it for you.  I know 
that there are people there who are capable of accomplishing this.  Whether or 
not they have the time to do it, I don't know, and neither do I know how much 
they may wish to charge for that time.

Lee.
