I bought one of these recently and it does not work as a slave since it triggers on the P-TTL pre-flash. For manual lenses it works though, as the camera won't pre-flash then.
Yes, Dörr appears to be reselling the Tumax/Icorp flashes. The DAF-42, though, appears to be a variant of the
DPT386AFZ. That flash has a "dumb slave" mode as you describe. The new model DPT586AFZ / DPT588AFZ apparently has actually reverse-engineered wireless P-TTL protocol support.
And, apparently it has a "built-in reprogram socket" [sic], which takes care of one of my main concerns with these flashes. (See
this recent thread.)
