I'm doing this for a friend and am not familiar with the machine.  He had 
set the distinctive ring once with windows software, but it has since 
"forgot", he didn't think you could do it through the panel--good to know 
that's possible.

So you can't fool windows into thinking it's a local device?

Any recommendations on all-in-one makers/models that work in a mixed linux 
and win environment?
