No NT-based OS has EVER supported distinctive ring.

These third party hardware devices can provide a work-around to the lack of
Distinctive Ring support:

I found the solution on the net 6 weeks ago. Installed it, added init string to my USr that supports distinctive ring, modified the registry, and it works perfectly.
Hope you found the fix.
