I have a similar problem in as much as I want to provide a "Facility"
dialtone to a zap channel under certain situations (call forward active)
in the same way a "Stutter" dialtone is sent to a zap phone when there
is a message waiting.


Providing dialtone to SIP phones is probably not possible - I guess it
is very phone dependent.
