No. The voice code could actually do the trick... :-)

All you can do is to hack mgetty.c and remove the line

        { "RING B", A_RING2 },

(around line 69) and change

#ifdef DIST_RING
char *  ring_chat_seq[] = { "RING\r", NULL };
#else
char *  ring_chat_seq[] = { "RING", NULL };
#endif

to

#ifdef DIST_RING
char *  ring_chat_seq[] = { "RINGIMPOSSIBLE\r", NULL };
#else
char *  ring_chat_seq[] = { "RINGIMPOSSIBLE", NULL };
#endif

around line 23. Surely a hack, but it will work. :-)

Bye,
Marc
