  41     This is basically a pulse-distance modulation (PDM).
  42
  43     A RING is a pulse and the Morse symbols are encoded in the pause between
  44     the first ring of the previous call and the first ring of a new call.
  45
  46     This strategy is very slow but it can even be used with ancient analog
  47     modems which don't have call progress notifications for outgoing calls, and
  48     make it also hard to count multiple rings in the same call on the receiving
  49     side because there is no explicit notification on the receiving side of
  50     when the caller ends a calls.
  51
  52     For GSM modems, which have a more sophisticate call report signalling,
  53     a more efficient encoding can be used (for example using ring counts to
  54     encode Morse symbols, i.e. a pulse-length modulation), but for
  55     a proof-of-concept, a slow encoding covering the most general setup is
  56     fine.
