Yes, the stutter tone or MWI indication must be done by the hardware. When
the user lifts the handset he receives dial tone from the card. That has
nothing to do with FreeSWITCH. Now, there will be some sort of
communication somewhere that lets the card know that it needs to send
stutter tone or MWI down the line, but I'm not at all an expert on that.
Fortunately we have someone who knows all about that stuff: Moy at Sangoma.
:)

Moy, can you shed some light on how the MWI and/or stutter tone work with
Dahdi and Sangoma cards?

Thanks,
MC
