Hi Gavin,
 
According to Sprint here in Tallahassee it is supported on the DMS100 for an NI2 ISDN 
PRI. I am aware of the Intel tech note you refer to. You can find the code snippit it 
contains spread all over the place. According to the docs it was tested on a DMS100 
using an NI2 ISDN PRI. However I have not been able to get it to work. I need call 
transfer in my app and I do not want to trombone. My problem is that I can find 
published specs on ISDN PRI NI2 all the way down to the facility message. After that 
nothing. So I do not know if the message I am sending is correct and both Sprint and 
Nortel have been useless. If anyone has done this and would care to share what they 
know about it I would appreciate it.

        TBCT (Two B Channel Transfer) would drastically reduce b-channel load in
        some applications.  Great for find me follow me Unified communicator type
        services.  Incoming calls answered on your cell phone etc.  I am very
        uneducated on this feature.  How could I find out more about it?  Does
        anyone have an example of this?  Does it work with Nortel?  Per Intel: "this
        feature is supported for the 5ESS and 4ESS protocols only"

        Network Facility Request - Two B Channel Transfer (TBCT) (Synchronous Mode)
        TBCT enables an ISDN PRI user to request the switch to connect together two
        independent calls on the user's interface. The two calls can be served by
        the same PRI trunk or by different PRI trunks. If the switch accepts the
        request, the user is released from the calls and the two calls are connected
        directly. Billing for the two original calls continues in the same manner as
        if the transfer had not occurred. As an option, TBCT also allows for
        transfer notification to the transferred users.
        
        TBCT works only when all of the following conditions are met:
        
        The user subscribes to TBCT (this feature is supported for the 5ESS and 4ESS
        protocols only).
        
        The two calls are of compatible bearer capabilities.
        
        At least one of the two calls is answered. If the other call is outgoing
        from the user, it may be either answered or alerting; if the other call is
        incoming to the user, it must be answered.

        The message I am currently sending makes it to the switch but is returned
        with unknown message. Perhaps someone here has done it before and can help
        me out.
