I have toneduration set as toneduration=80 in chan_dahdi.conf.  Is there 
a tonedur parameter too?  And I have this problem with both calls to 
cell phone and fixed landlines.  I only have the delay when calling out 
over a FXO trunk; no delay issue is seen using the exact same hardware 
but calling out over an IAX trunk.

Any other ideas?
