Every ring of my phone is timestamped in /var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS1.log thus:

05/07 09:17:38 yS1  waiting...
05/07 09:46:19 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:19 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:22 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:25 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:28 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:31 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:34 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:37 yS1  waiting for ``RING'' ** found **
05/07 09:46:40 yS1  send: ATA[0d]

Or is it the precise number of rings that's important to you?
I'm not convinced that the number of rings I hear in the earpiece
precisely matches what's being "heard" and logged at the other end.

Cheers,
