[asterisk-users] Passing DTMF

[Brent Vrieze]

I have had this same problem using via:talk.  Even though they tell me 
they have hundreds of people using Asterisk with their service that have 
no problems we cannot make it work.  I have also had reponses confirming 
that in this email list. 

So don't wast your time with via:talk.
