Does anyone know what the following tests (as found on a DMS 100
switch) are for:

1. Dial a test number, receive four quick rings (about 1/sec) then
silence.

2. Dial another test number, rings twice (normal ringing) then returns
to a normal dial tone allowing dialing as usual.

3. A test which sounds like a short fax carrier blast, then silence.

4. A couple of numbers that don't do anything but sit there silently.

Any ideas on what any of the above are would be appreciated, as well
as any other weird and wonderful stuff that anyone else has found.
