[Blink] [solved] Inband DTMF

Thanks to the hints of Iñaki Dan and Adrian I have got it working again.

.. it was my strange setup with b2b UAs and a fritz box used as a PSTN gateway.

 I could hear DTMF on a local call and after this I just had to open
my ports (50000-5400) on the b2bUA again and all was done.


Setup:

  Blink ---> b2bUA ---> Fritz-Box ---> PSTN Conference-Bridge
     |                                 (freeconference.com)
     |
     +-----> Local endpoint 
             (Siemens VoIP 674IP DECT Phone) 


Thaks for the hints

What works with legacy vendor A will not work with legacy vendor B. The last RFC is the answer and everyone need to upgrade their product to support it sooner or later.
