What happens if you remove the "r" option? "r" is almost NEVER

If you have a very simple extension:
exten => 1,n,Dial(IAX2/Steve|24|r)
Everything I've seen says this should tell the IAX phone (our own
iaxclient based one) to make a ringing sound, or asterisk should
make the ringback indication itself if it determines that the
channel can't do it for itself.
But you can dial this extension all day and you never hear a
ringback indication. Dial it from a SIP softphone and you do.
If you change the default country in the indications.conf, the
SIP phone will change the way the ring sounds. IAX, still nothing.
You can use PlayTones(ring) in the dialplan before the Dial(),
and it seems to behave ok. Playing the appropriate ring
indication until the call is answered. But it seems like the
behavior is inconsistent with IAX vs. SIP. Is this by design?
All the IAX soft phones I've tried are based on the same
iaxclient libs, so it's hard to know if it's the phone or
asterisk that's not behaving right. Has anyone used an iax hard
phone, some other IAX device/software, and does it exhibit the
same behavior? Or is this a problem with the iax code not being
telling asterisk that IAX phones need to have their indications
faked.
Any ideas about what's going on would be most gratefully
appreciated.
I don't know the IAXclient libs, but an IAX client is supposed to
send a RINGING packet back after it
accepts a call to notify the other end it should generate ringback
for the user. The protocol allows it to go
straight to ANSWER, or send a PROCEEDING if it hasn't reached the end-
point yet.
Is your client sending a RINGING packet at the right moment ?
Is there a call you should make (after accept but before answer) to
get it to send RINGING?
