No, but I'm willing to give it a shot later today.  

I did try enabling the hardware DTMF option in /etc/wanpipe/wanpipe1.conf
(TDMV_HW_DTMF    = YES)  Previously it was off (I believe the default is
off).  No difference.

I'm actually already using a dms100 setting, since it's the Clarkson ON
switch.

No errors at all.  'ifconfig w1g1' is all clear.  Same for 'wanpipemon -i
w1g1 -c so' and 'wanpipemon -i w1g1 -c sc'.  Also, this was my second Bell
techniciain visit.  The first did confirm that my connection quality was
clean and working well.  The tech today said the same thing.


I was told that once the call is connected, DTMF is inband.  Which makes
sense, as when I am tracing the w1g1 interface, the packets stop flowing
once the call connects, no matter how much I mash on the keypad.  So the
problem could easily be Asterisk itself and not my Sangoma card or the
PRI?!?!
