Call established between A and B. A wants to transfer B to C. A flash hooks the phone, dials extension, or number to get connected to C and announces intent to transfer. A then flash hooks again, and proceeds to introduce C and B, then bows out of the conversation by hanging up. This method uses the 3 way calling function. Call established between A and B. A wants to transfer B to C. A flah hooks the phone, dials extension 700 and listens for number to be repeated. Then A hangs up phone, then places call to C, and announces call. At this point A and C have handed off the call. C then can dial the number that was read to A and be connected to B. This uses the call parking function of asterisk. It is beneficial if C needs a moment to compose before picking up the line and A doesn't need to be tied up. There is also a variation of this where A parks the call, then goes to a new location where A dials the parked location of the call and is able to retrieve the call at a new location. Beneficial if you are not at your desk, but still was routed the call. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
