I can confirm that the card I purchased works fine with DTMF tones :-) I 
have a simple IVR setup and can access voicemail boxes etc with no 
trouble at all.

I am using the card with zaptel 1.4.9.2 (but a much older 1.4.5 or 
similar was fine too) and the OSLEC echo canceller.

My zaptel.conf is this:
loadzone=uk
defaultzone=uk
fxsks=1

My zapata.conf is this:
; Zapata telephony interface ;
; Configuration file
[channels]
;Hardware defaults for the x100p card
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
echotrainingwhenbridged=no

cidsignalling=v23 ; Added for UK CLI detection
;cidstart=usehist ; After patching the driver from here :
; http://www.lusyn.com/resources/asterisk/usehist.htm
callerid=asreceived ; propagate the CID received from BT
rxgain=6.0
txgain=6.0

;define channel
context=main_menu
language=en
signalling=fxs_ks
channel => 1 ;Our x100p


FYI - I have not got CLI detection to work (yet) but I'm not sure if I 
have it enabled on my line and it wasn't a priority for me ;-)

But I must say, since I discovered OSLEC, the card has worked a treat! 
Not bad for £17.00. Before I tried OSLEC echo was pretty bad.
