[asterisk-users] Attended transfer: transferring a call as soon as the destination starts ringing
Hi all! Ext A, B and C are SIP phones. Ext A receives a call from Ext B. Ext A wants to transfer the call to Ext C. Ext A puts the first call on hold, dials Ext C, then simply hangs up as soon as the call to Ext C starts *ringing*. In other words, Ext B wants to be sure Ext C is ringing (i.e. it is not busy or unavailable) but doesn't want to talk to him. Unfortunately, as soon as Ext A hears Ext C is ringing and hangs up or hits "Transfer", the call is closed and a *new* call from Ext B to Ext C starts. This way, Ext C sees an unanswered call from Ext A, which is an unexpected behaviour. I played with directmedia and directrtpsetup, but no success so far. Any ideas, please? Thanks in advance.

I have started to receive a lot of positive response for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] project. For those of you unfamiliar with this project the goal of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is to make a full featured version of Asterisk very easy to install. We have created a 1 step .iso that installs RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) and Asterisk. It includes a web GUI that allows easy editing of the Asterisk Config files. [EMAIL PROTECTED] has many other features including xPL (home automation) support, database integration, and usage statistics. If you would like to try it for yourself you can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/asteriskathome/ I have received some questions on [EMAIL PROTECTED] from this list and from my page on voip-info.org here a few answers. 1. I tried to install [EMAIL PROTECTED] on my pc and it says it don't support my system. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is based on RHEL 3 Linux. RHEL 3 does not support many older systems. You should have at least a 300MHz PII. This may have been an oversight on my part but most of the info I have read on Asterisk says it does not run well on systems slower than this. Besides look on e-bay a dell Optiplex GX1, a great Linux and Asterisk box with good hardware support, sells for $34 (buy it now)! Seem like a worthwhile investment for Asterisk/Linux experimentation. If you really want to use Asterisk on slower hardware try Debian Linux it runs on almost anything and has good asterisk support. 2. I cant connect to my network with from [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can try the netconfig command. You can use netconfig to configure your network manually. You can check to see if your card is supported by RHEL. If it isnt you might have to compile a driver for it (yuck!). Your best bet is to use generic hardware that is known to work well with Linux (see above) you could also buy a network card that works with Linux (3com work well) 3. I would like to use my strange-ass ISDN/TAPI/PSTN/VOIP/phone thingy with Asterisk can you help? [EMAIL PROTECTED] is designed to be a starting off point for Asterisk experimentation. It supports some basic hardware. But beyond that try this mailing list or the ever useful voip-info.org. These resources will help you get just about any type of telephone interface known to man working with Asterisk! Hope this helps. -Andrew __ Do you Yahoo!?
