[oclug] how to make the phone ring through the modem

[Raj]

I doubt there is a way to make your phone ring through the internal
modem - that requires a high ac voltage (60V if i'm not mistaken)  on
the line.  The telco can do that, but its highly unlikely that your
modem is capable of it.  There might be a way to simulate a ring though
using the speaker on the modem..
