Does * support ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) - 2B Transfer Capability for T-1/PRI?
In other words the ability to take a call and join it to another call and then drop off letting the CO-switch take over.

Kevin -
Firstly, I'll save Steven Critchfield from complaining, and do it myself: please don't post HTML mail to the list. It takes a few extra steps for me to even read your teeny, tiny little font on my particular system, so I'm less likely to read or answer your mail if it's in HTML. It might look good on your screen, but you gamble on everyone else's machine being able to present things correctly.


Secondly, no, Asterisk doesn't understand 2B Transfer. There was some discussion a while ago on the topic, some of which didn't make it to the list. I include it below.

Here is documentation on the 2B channel transfer protocol that I think is being discussed. Note that I do not know the copyright issues involved in having this on my website, so it may go away shortly, and making copies of your own is encouraged.

Personally, I think that PRI ports are cheap enough using Digium cards that this is an unnecessary feature to implement. Plus, billing feedback on this is a nightmare, since call control is released back to the switch (but that is accounted for.) However, I am spoiled by inexpensive North American telecom charges, so perhaps this would be worthwhile for some people who are not in my envious situation.

Do you have documentation about it ?

 Is there any support in the PRI protocol for call transfer?  Our switch
 (Lucent/Excel) supports call transfer and it works of course on FX
 lines, but it would be nice if we could effect a real transfer instead
> of just bridging two PRI channels. This would free up a lot of ports.
