That's your problem!  You should be seeing "RING RING" for a normal double 
ring, "RING" for a French-style long single ring or maybe "RING RING RING" 
for a triple ring, depending which number you called.  Check your modem 
manual for the appropriate command to enable distinctive ring recognition and 
to see what the results should be for each ringing envelope.

I think some modems may even produce a more complex report giving the actual 
on and off timings of each ring.
