We are going to replace a BizFone with Asterisk and one of the features that I haven't been able to emulate is the PBX hold. We can put a call into hold with the * key and every 30 sec the phone gets a beep to remind us it is there and the caller on hold can hit # for other options.

The closest I've come with Asterisk is call parking, and that doesn't quite do it. Using the standard include => parkedcalls (with digium FXS cards) I get different behavior depending on whether the calling or called extension does the parking.

If the called extension parks the call, it will be parked and when the timeout expires the original extension will be run (for pickup or voicemail).

If the calling extension parks the call, the call will go to the parking spot just fine but when the timer expires we get:

Channel Zap/2-1 sent into invalid extension 's' in context 'default', but no invalid handler

There is nothing in the parking docs that discusses needing a default context for the call to return to. I can create a context with that name, but I'm not sure what it should do... I don't know if there's a way to extract the original extension and have it called in the default context.

Is there more information on this somewhere?
