asterisk users - Jan 2006 - Experience with SetTransferCapability

Does anyone have exporience with the SetTransferCapability application?
I'm trying to use it, but it does not give the expected result.

My configuration is like this:

Telco<--->Definity<--->Asterisk<--->Brooktrout PRI card

The Definity communicates with the Asterisk using the Bearer 3.1K audio
setting.  This is because the Asterisk was placed in between an already
working setup.

In default situations, Calls from SIP ---> Asterisk ---> Brooktrout seem
to work OK.

Calls from Definity --> Asterisk ---> Brooktrout do not.  All I get is
silence and it seems as though (looking at pri debug span 2), the call
terminates immediately with the following output:

***************************** END DEBUG OUTPUT ************************

Now, changing on calls to be routed to the Brooktrout to be explicitly
SetTransferCapability(SPEECH) works fine.  However, the default value is
SPEECH and the debug logs bear that out.  NOT setting the value doesn't
work.  Setting SetTransferCapability to DIGITAL and 3K1AUDIO seem to
have the same effect as not setting SetTransferCapability at all.
Oddly, the Info transfer capability I get for DIGITAL and 3K1AUDIO are
the same:  Unrestricted digital information (8).

Anyone have an idea what I might be missing?
