[arm-allstar] I made corrections to my dtmf halt and reboot, but it still doesn't work.

Very good explanation Doug....

I was about to ask if he was dialing a "*" at the beginning of his DTMF 
sequence.

I see you included the (star) in your dtmf example. Hope he catches that.

I know that is explained elsewhere as " * " being an assumed prefix to 
the commands.
Many newer folks read/edit the scripts and forget to include the (star) 
at the beginning of his DTMF command
