Now, I think the question is, does your ATA actually support
rotary/pulse dialing? Mine (SPA-2000) did not.

Most/all of the SIP based ones seem not to.

I bought a (very cheap)
MITEL-1 "Smart Dialer" and went through a RIDICULOUS amount of pain
trying to configure it to convert from pulse to DTMF dialing, and it did sort 
of work although I never seemed to be able to get it
configured exactly the way I wanted it.
Several collectors with similar needs have had good results with the SMART-1, though it can be painful, and there are MANY different versions, even for the US market. The Euro one is reported to be somewhat easier. Keep in mind that it was designed as a store and forward dialer, so it works a little oddly in this application.

I ended up getting a TDM400 with a couple of FXS modules (which I had been 
needing to get anyway), and that worked perfectly after patching the pulse-dial 
debounce code in Zaptel (although I believe the newest version of Zaptel 
already comes with the needed changes).
Dial speed and make-break ratio were also problems with older dials

If there are ATAs that support pulse dialing, I'd like to know about it, 
because now I would like to be able to use my pulse phone in locations other 
than the physical location of my Asterisk machine with the TDM400 card in it. 
So if you find that yours works, could you please let me know?
Let the list know. There are others with a similar requirement.
The IAXy is the only one I have found that supposedly supports pulse dial.
