About the one-ring trick:

Excuse me for soapboxing, but I just wanted to separate the information
from the non-information.   By now, we all appreciate that the
ring you hear is not synchronized to the ring the caller feels.
But here is what we have so far:

Some of:     "I THINK this won't work very well"

A few of:    "I used this trick and it worked great for me"

None of:     "I tried using this trick and it was unworkable"


I'm still waiting for my box, and I'm still optimistic (based
on the above summary :-)  I don't mean to be ragging on
the folks telling us about un-synchronized ringing; it *is*
interesting to know about, but not a closed case at all as
I see it. Yet...
