asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Linksys PAP2T-NA - call goes through but phone doesn't ring

I'm trying out a Linksys PAP2T-NA.  Calling out works great, no problems
there.  Calling in, though, the phone doesn't ring.  Caller ID shows up, I
can pick up the phone, and the call is connected, but no ring.  I've tried
it on two analog phones, same behavior.  Suggestions?

Asterisk SVN-branch-1.2-r31555.

I don't know if the T version is different.  On a PAP2, in Advanced View,
Regional tab, you can tweak Ring Frequency (default 25, try 20 and 30),
Ring Voltage (default 70, try 90) and Ring Waveform (default Sinusoid, try
Trapezoid).  Also, assuming you're not using distinctive ring, make sure
Ring 1 Cadence is 60(2/4) or something reasonable.  If still no luck,
you may have a bad SLIC; try the other port.  If all else fails, use a
scope to see what ringing voltage, if any, is present.  It's hard to
believe that this could be a * problem.

I had a bunch of PSP2-NA devices with firmware 3.x that did that.
Downgrading to 2.0.13 solved the problem. Others said that the last
3.x would do also, but after putting out hundreds of PAP2 with 2.x and
they all working rock solid, I'm not willing to switch to 3.x until I
have tested it enough (which I havent).

The problematic 3.x firmwares would also make some of the PAP2 reboot
when receiving a call. As soon as you call the extension, it flashes
red the power led and reboot (you can see it grabbing a new IP on the
network). This is also solved when downgrading.

Interestingly enough, some of them work well with that same firmware.
I have not yet made a relation (maybe hardware version, I don't know)
