FWIW:
>From "old, old" memory, DTMF was "60 ms on, 40 ms off", way back when.  With
modern technology, shorter durations could work.  Most phones of all types
don't make a standardized tone burst but produce tones only while the button
is pressed.  Fast "punching" will produce short tones.

On the other hand, a redialed number will be very well formatted.

Reliability of TT data transfer for audio applications (over the phone voice
mail, credit card, IVR, etc) would be better if the phones would run button
pushes through the redial buffer/formatter.  But they don't.

It isn't evidence of this problem, but it might be indicative of it.  What
this message says is that the DTMF lasted for 57ms, but Asterisk normally
doesn't detect DTMF that lasts for under 80ms, so it is increasing the
duration of the DTMF to compensate (because as a digital signal, DTMF is
reliable, but when sent as audio, it might not be).  What it probably
indicates is that the DTMF sent to your system is _incredibly_ short, and if
a
DTMF detector is employed, it's possible that the DTMF audio is simply too
short to be reliably detected.
