Hi Guys,

Any thoughts around this? Is more information required or am I missing
something (note that the original post included the code and traces)?
Why would the IAX channel behave differently than a SIP channel? Why
wont the IAX channel accept DTMF when instantiated from a call file?

I am new to this mailing list. Please let me know if I have stepped out
of what is considered a good way of approaching the list.

Thanks,
