I'm a bit confused as to how your old system exactly worked. When you initially answer the phone (on presumably the "wrong" extension), what did you do with that handset before getting up and going to the "right" extension to steal it? Did you just leave it off hook? I'm assuming you had to dial something to "park" the call before just hanging up the orginal extension. In that case, call parking is really what you are looking for, and you could simulate your old feature by mapping whatever you used to dial to park the call. Then map your old "call steal" code to retrieve it. If you actually left the first one off hook in the past and walked to the second extension and then "stole" the call, then perhaps you could map your code to do a call transfer given the channel id (as someone else suggested I think). j _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
