Description:When dialing out to a remote IVR system from a SIP phone, pressing buttons does not generate DTMF tones on remote system.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I am using a NetJet-S card from traverse and i4l as the modem driver. I have disabled kernel DTMF detection and have asterisk doing the detection of DTMF tones. This works fine for incoming calls however on outgoing calls before and after this patch was applied, remote IVR systems can not detect me pressing buttons.

I ended up dialing my home phone and pressing buttons, no tone has been generated. However when i use sip to voicemail it works fine.

Is asterisk not generating DTMF tones on outbound i4l calls?

DTMFs can be transmitted in-band (as tones) and out-of-band (as informational messages at call control channel). So, check your i4l/asterisk configuration to pass DTMFs to ISDN as in-band, otherwise you will not hear them. As I can see, Asterisk passes all outgoing DTMFs as escape sequenses <DLE> <#DTMF> and this must be handled at your ISDN layer to generate real tone (but I don't found any code to generate inband DTMFs in the linux's ISDN drivers sources).
