This file configures zaptel hardware (telephony cards) for use with asterisk.

In New Zealand Telecom offer a service called Faxibility which will give you an extra phone number with distinctive ring. This service is $2.50-$3.95 per month depending on the plan you are on.

To use both caller id and distinctive ring detection in New Zealand requires a patch to the Asterisk source. See bug #3596 on bugs.digium.com and attached patch below.

The following distinctive ring settings seem to work for faxability.

usedistinctiveringdetection=yes
; option provided by patch from bug #3596
distinctiveringaftercid=yes

dring1=309,247,161
dring2=279,248,220
dring1context=from-zap-phone
dring2context=from-zap-fax

If you watch from a verbose Asterisk console you will see Asterisk detecting slightly different dring patterns but they still should get caught by the above lines.
