asterisk users - Apr 2003 - DTMF tones not long enough

Hi,

My system is like this currently:

ATA-186 <-> *1 <-> IAX2 to Europe <-> *2 <-> i4l
<-> voicemail at cell
provider

When I dial up to my voicemail at my European cell phone provider I 
can't press '#' to get into their menu.  It seems like it just
ignores
any DTMF tones or doesn't get them.

When I call a human on the other side of the i4l they say that they can 
hear the DTMF tones, but I don't know how well.

I tried calling Echo on the second * box and I do hear DTMF tones 
coming back, but they are really short - barely there at all.

I am getting a TDM400P card; will that work better/differently than the 
ATA in this regard?

On IRC Mark talked about extending the DTMF system to keep track of 
"button down" and "button up" events instead of just
"button pressed".
  For me then a temporary work around of just making the tones a bit 
longer would work - I think.  Maybe.  Perhaps.

Any ideas?

Same here, seems that with one of the later updates on * the outgoing DTMF
from SIP via * to i4l is not going out.

I have a long distance calling service which i can dial get a dialtone and
then dial the number i need. It used to work from my pingtel soft phone just
fine, but since i had to put in DTMF=inband in the sip.conf (as * didn't see
my voicemail DTMF anymore) it seems the DTMF works from sip to * directly
but not from SIP via * to i4l.

Also i tried doing SIP <=> * <=> other * via IAX and then DTMF and
that
seems to work...

Hope this gives enough 'debug; info if not please don't hesitate to
contact
me on what to to to provide more info.

Greetings,

Tjardick
