[Asterisk-Dev] outbound RFC2833 broken - use inband instead?

[Bryan Field-Elliot]

Our inbound ATA uses RFC2833 (let's call that peer "10").

Once "in", we connect it to the outbound ATA (call it "20"), using a
simple extension:

exten => 20,1,Dial(SIP/20)

It's 20, not 10, that I need to send outbound DTMF to as inband. And 20
will have already registered with Asterisk as RFC2833. How can I set
20's DTMF mode to inband before transferring there?

I have tried this:

exten => 20,1,SIPDtmfMode(rfc2833)
exten => 20,2,Dial(SIP/20)

but it applies to "10", not "20", and in some cases, "10" is an IAXy
device (not even using SIP at all), so this doesn't ever do anything
useful as far as I can tell.

Is there some way to set 20's DTMF mode to RFC2833 before transferring a
call there?
