The main reason I'd like to get rid of my local * box is to remove the clutter. Sitting behind a big chair in my living room, I've got an old Dell P233 running asterisk, my router/dsl modem, my ATA, and all the cables and power adapters associated.
The DTMF problem I have is that, I think, the ATA just isn't picking them up/reproducing them. When I dial into remote phone systems (say, a tech support line or my bank) and it says "press 1 for..." I press 1 and it doesn't work. It'd be nice to know if it was the ATA for sure, rather than spending money on another ATA to find that it wasn't actually the problem. In any case, I'm just looking for a way to get phone service without having to sacrifice my first born for traditional landline service.
