[Spce-user] Voicemail - '*' interrupt not working and message not playing from phone

Yes, when doing a packet capture and analyzing it in wireshark, I am 
seeing an RTP Event with ID of DTMF Star *.  Tried multiple endpoints on 
the PSTN with same result.   All 3 sipwise platforms use the same 
provider (the one working one and the two non-working setups).  Seems 
also, when I hit the # key Asterisk is recognizing this keypress on the 
PSTN side, just not the Star key.

I welcome any other ideas.

Thank You,
