Ah, splendid - thanks for the clarification. So, coming back to my original difficulty, if I want to put this "thing" on hold, should I do ChannelRedirect() on the ;1 or the ;2 part? Maybe even both?? I *believe* I have tried each (today my dialplan is processing ;2) and in both cases, as soon as the channel is put on hold, the hangup handler is called and the call ends. I am perfectly successful in using ChannelRedirect() for putting calls on hold when they are a SIP/ channel and not a Local/ one.
