If you can see in the capture that you are sending the digits, and the
CLI is not being set, then open a fault with BT.

Alternatively, find a friendly "legacy" PBX maintainer that has a
trend/harrier, or take your FS box to somewhere that has some BRI
lines that are known to work with CLIP and COLP and try your FS box on
them...
