Fact: TR-TSY-000030 *requires* that that the CNID burst be sent
*between* the first and second rings sent to the station.

It can't ever be sent before the first ring, because most boxes sleep
until they hear ring signal.

It can't be sent later because people won't wait.

Does the CNID data show in the session log regardless of which ring is
picked up?

Do you also understand that if you try to use RingVoice to answer fax
calls on a secong Distinctive Ring that you won't get what you're
after?

We just did that last week; check the archives.
