Seems like you are talking about "attended transfer" here? It would work on zaptel interfaces. A and B are talking. A flashes hook, gets dialtone, B would hopefully get dialtone. A then dials C. C answers, and A and C talk. B is still on hold. A flashes hook again. Now A, B, and C can talk together. Any member of the party (A, B, or C) can hang up, and leave the other two conversing. Is that what you are thinking of? murf -- Steve Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Digium _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
