Ah I see, in theory it's possible then. We don't have any IVRs or anything which requires key presses, there isn't even voicemail on this particular phone system so I don't think it will be too much of a problem. I've also updated the firmware on the Cisco phones that have had the issue, just to see if that solves the issue but as it's been going on for a while, I'm not too confident it has.

We had reduced talk-off noticeably by using ... relaxdtmf=no ...in /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf (this is a per-channel setting) Problem with that it that our autoattendant wasn't recognizing DTMF tone from callers very well.
