I had a similar problem.  If you look at the console, you'll probably
either see it missing digits, or sending too many digits.  Even though
I was using ulaw as my codec, Asterisk didn't like my specifying
dtmfmode=inband.  I commented out that line and away it went fine.

Here is my current sip.conf for my 7960 which works (connected
directly to the Asterisk box)

[100]
type=friend
secret=password
username=100
callerid="Leif Madsen" <18924>
context=extensions
;dtmfmode=inband
qualify=yes
nat=no
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=g729
mailbox=100

HTH,
