Thanks for the info.  I also have an IAXy and it doesn't have anything like
the concept of a dial plan in the ATA, but I've never noticed any kind of
digit delay either - how long is this timeout on the Sipura?  So does the
IAXy just send digits as they come in whereas the Sipura tries to collect
them and send them all at once?

It sounds like a strategy might be to use the "X." dialplan while I'm
tinkering with the Asterisk side of things, and once I've got something
I want to keep stable I'd make the Sipura dial plan more specific.
