Summary:                    [patch] Add dialtone detection to chan_zap FXO
devices
Description: 
In the UK, analogue lines can only be hung-up by the caller. If asterisk is
not the caller, then when asterisk hangs up, it may well have no effect,
but asterisk thinks the line is available! This can cause a "special" kind
of glare - This feature was abused as a Phreaking tool for many years...
British telecom insist that this behaviour cannot be disabled.

The only workaround to this that I have been able to come up with is
dialtone detection before dialing. I believe this will also be a popular
feature for people with lines that do not offer an immediate dialtone.

The attached patch adds a new DSP mode of "WAITFORDIALTONE" which will use
the existing dialtone detection code - I have extended it to work for UK
users (progmode=uk in zapata.conf) It also adds a new zapata.conf parameter
of "waitfordialtone" which takes a numeric parameter to specify how long in
ms to wait for a dialtone before giving up and failing the call.
