I thought the new SIP invite had a 'Diverted' field or something in it? If 
that's true, this is really bad because I need some way in my AGI script to 
determine that it's a transferred call, and not a new call. In the case of a 
transferred call, we want to set the caller id to the original calling party 
info, not the transferring party info. I swear that last week when I was doing 
this, the RDNIS agi variable was being set and I could use that to set the 
caller id information as needed. However, now it's suddenly stopped working and 
I don't know why.

Is this documented somewhere?
