[asterisk-users] 1950's UK rotary dial phone

Folks,

I've got one of those GPO 1950's rotary dial phones that I'm trying to
get working in the UK.  I've got pretty much everything working with my
TDM400, the phone rings and I can receive calls but I cannot dial with
the rotary dialer.  I have set pulsedial=true or whatever the exact
setting is and I can dial from the phone by lifting the receiver and
tapping out the number on the hook.  However, using the rotary dialer
does not work (works fine plugged into my phone line).  I have read
about the possibilty that the pulse settings may need adjusting in
kernel.h in the dahdi driver but I have no idea what to set them to.  I
have tried tweeking them to various extents but I've not been able to
bring it to life yet.  Does anyone have any experience getting this to
work?  Does anyone know the specs for UK pulse dial?  How long should
the pulses be and what is the gap between them?

Thanks,
Mike.
