I have it set to inband since apparently it doesn't correctly do any of the other options however even with inband Asterisk doesn't seem to detect it. I set up my extension to record the audio to a file and I can hear the tones in the file so it looks like inband is passing it through but Asterisk isn't detecting it. I couldn't find any options in Asterisk to detect the tones in the audio coming from a SIP extension, all the options seemed to be about how to transmit them. I hopefully correctly changed the audio codec to 64kbps ulaw, because as I understand it, otherwise they would be scrambled. >> I have read reports that the echo cancelation on the SPA3000 is a bit >> rubbish and that there is a serious issue with DTMF detection (I >> followed the instructions to solve it with no success so far).

Maybe I will jump ship to one of them. Hardware which comes vaguely recommended sounds like a better place than where I started from! I'm somewhat startled by how bad the SPA3000 seems to be but perhaps most people aren't routing it via Asterisk. I assume that if I was calling out via a Voip provider their echo cancelation would solve the problem? Similarly if I was allowing the SPA3000 to route the call from my landline directly to my DECT phone the latency might be low enough that the inbuilt echo cancelation would sort it out (or it would be low enough that my brain would sort it out)? However because I'm routing via asterisk I have introduced enough latency that neither can cope anymore. Does that explain how the SPA3000 can be so rubbish for my plans and yet apparently ok for other people?
