Is possible that you are missing the XML file with the supertones
definitions. Usually is located at /usr/share/spandsp/global-tones.xml
, but it depends on how you configured the spandsp package
(./configure --prefix=/usr/blah....). Notice that spandsp and
libsupertone should be configured with the same prefix, so supertone
can look for the file in the correct directory.

Also, hk is the code for Hong Kong tones. You must put in unicall.conf
a parameter called supertones=<country code>. That country code must
be defined in the XML file i just mentioned. For mexico, supertones=mx
