Robert and Christian, many thanks for this. I wish I had known that Grandstream phones would not really work ... but there, that's what research is about!
Chritian suggests the Polycom phones but the next post in this group says there is a problem with echo on the Polycoms at present. Based on my experience to date I don't have the confidence to get a set of Cisco phones in - I'm glad to hear others are having success though. Well at least the reality is emerging and I am going to leave any thought of rolling our Asterisk on hold for 6 months. I'll revisit eventually because I am sure I want to use this technology. I will stick to FWD for a while :) Again thanks. Hope to see you all in the summer. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robert Hajime Lanning Sent: 06 January 2004 18:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] This newbie gives up for now - sadly John, Jared is right. I have a co-worker who has coughed up the money for the Cisco 7960 SIP phones. These have a soft button for "Supervised Transfer". And, it works. I only have the Grandstream BT101 phones, and their "Transfer" button only implements "Blind Transfer". So, to get it to work, you will need to upgrade to non-budget phones. Not ideal, but Asterisk does support the feature, just Grandstream does not. <quote who="Jared Smith"> > On Tue, 2004-01-06 at 06:20, John Coll wrote: >> Robert Hajime Lanning: >> >> "He is using SIP phones.
