I set up an extension like this, and found that my indications were being 
picked up and played correctly by Playtones().  FYI, I found 425*12 to be 
the closest match to the tones coming from my Telstra line.

Yes, I have a handset attached to an FXS port and was using that to see if 
my indications were changing.  They don't.  My FXS ports are being handled 
by the simple switch -- can the tones generated here be altered?  Are they 
supposed to pick up the indications.conf tones?  I found 'language=en' in 
zapata.conf, tried changing that to au but no difference...
