This was a self induced problem, after mocking up in the lab it seemed
to work fine, but my production system didn't.  I debugged the RTP and
captured the DTMF tones between the working and not working setup and
noticed the production system was sending DTMF codec number [96] and
the lab system was sending DTMF codec number [101].

This was a result of adding "[96] = {0, AST_RTP_DTMF}," to rtp.c in
effort to resolve errors I was getting when passing calls to a cisco
call manager.  The errors went away, but now sends an invalid codec
number to the 2600 gateway, which drops the call.  I took out that
codec number in rtp.c, recompiled and DTMF works fine now.  I'm sure
my codec errors will come back but at least DTMF will work.  I'd
rather purge error logs than not have DTMF.
