[VoIP] Seattle Museum?

[Donald Froula]

On modern cell networks, the DTMF key press is
converted to a message and sent over-the-air to the
base station/network where the DTMF is regnerated at a
fixed length, decided by your provider. Most of the
codecs in use these days don't work too well for
in-band tones. Although, I can whistle off my
ProjectMF server with 2600 HZ over a good cell
connection!
