Really?

Before the patch, a call would be answered after receiving a number of 
rings which can appear as either:

- What is specified by RingData
- What is specified by RingFax
- What is specified by RingVoice
- "RING " followed by anything. The line would then be put in CID. (that's 
the extended ring)
- "RING"

Why are "RING A" ring type answered? As RingData and RingVoice are empty, 
we can forget about them. The RingFax is set to "RING B" so it's not that 
either. Neither is "RING". Starting with "RING "? YES. And to even prove 
it's the one used, you get the RING line in CID.

The patch on bug 346 lets us specify what is to be considered for that 
Extended ring (a ring with CID information) by setting RingExtended to 
whatever we want. It defaults to "RING " for backward compatibility and 
accepts things after the string (of course, there's suppose to be CID 
information at the end of the string). So setting RingExtended to anything 
you want which would never occur would disable it.

It's not a bug, anything starting by "RING " (and this is) is considered 
as a RING with CID information. (there are modems that give CID as a one 
line ring like "RING CID=5551212". That's what HylaFAX is thinking it 
receives)

Look at ClassModem.c++ at lines arround 1199.

Now if you did try the patch and set RingExtended: "RING;" in your 
config.ttyXX and it didn't work, give some information. Was there any 
difference? Do you still get the CID info in the log files? (you did 
restart faxgetty, right?)
