Just to check something, I installed a different soft-phone client on my 
desktop PC. Instead of using Ekiga (http://ekiga.org/), I tried Twinkle 
(http://twinklephone.com/).

Twinkle successfully sends DTMF tones and Asterisk responds accordingly 
:-) :-) So it seems like a configuration/incompatibility between Ekiga 
and Asterisk.

The problem with Twinkle is it's echo cancellation is not too good 
compared to Ekiga. I am using a Polycom communicator and with the Ekiga 
client, calls to the echo extension work fine. Using Twinkle it gets 
into a feedback loop and just keeps getting louder........

Think I'll try OpenWengo (http://www.openwengo.org/) next and see how 
that fairs... Just tried it, similar sort of problem but not quite as 
bad as Twinkle. I think I'll try and talk to the Ekiga guys about this...


Cheers
