Argh. I'd thought that the machine gun dialing was just a presentation
matter, but that would indeed mean it does not only feel like a prehistoric
analog phone firing out DTMFs, but it does actually dial every digit
individually?

Why, in all world? Immediate block dial (neither gunning the digits out
one after the other nor senselessly waiting for T302 to expire) IMO is
the only thing that makes sense when redialing (or dialing from a diectory)
on a 79xx. Worst of all, the latest 7970 code slowed down the dialing once
more, I'm already getting bugged for that by the sales people 'coz they are
losing time waiting for the phone to conclude dialing.

So, is there some knob I missed that allows me to set the 79[467]0s
to just block dial as any decent ISDN phone does for 15 years now,
or is this something we have to live with forever?

BTW, when we are at talking about overlap receiving - am I correct that
this is another MGCP-only thing (just like Q.SIG facility vs. display IE)
or did I miss it beeing supported with H.323?

Thanks,
Andre.
