Since you guys are on this topic already.. We had a Braxtel switch and a call would come in and then if you needed to transfer the caller to someone outside the office to a number unrelated to our company we would have to tie up two of our lines in our switch while their conversation took place. It sounds like you guys are talking about inner office transfers but is it possible to make asterisk do a flash hook transfer vs. a 2Bchannel transfer so that the call continues for the two outside folks and not the asterisk switch?

The Cisco 7960s and 7940s (what we use) support this just fine. You have two options on the soft keys when in a call "Trnsfer" and "BlndXfr". Trnsfer allows you to dial a number, announce and then press "Trnsfer" again to transfer the call (or disconnect and return to the original call). BlndXfr does exactly that - transfers the call without an announcement. If reception is the only place that needs the announced transfer, you may wish to consider getting one of these phones (or more - depending on budget). They're a bit on the expensive side, but they're excellent phones. -Shaun _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
