[Asterisk-Users] Hold Pickup

[Josh Dady]

I'm working through my list of features people will expect, and Hold Pickup is at the top at the moment -- has anyone done any work on this? We've had some unpleasant experiences with call parking, and everyone seems to like the Hold Pickup model. If you don't know what I mean by Hold Pickup, it's sort of a reverse transfer; pick up the nearest phone and dial <prefix>12345 to pick up a call holding on ext. 12345.

It looks like the closest to what I want (without changing Asterisk) would be Park followed by an AGI that pokes my manager-port client (which in turn would redirect the target extension's channel to...well, something) -- if the parking space was returned to the dialplan somehow (or if Park() didn't ignore its arguments).

At the moment, I'm using the v1-0 branch and at this point it looks like our phones will be all SIP (i.e., madding chan_sip to make sendonly channels visible to the dialplan somehow isn't automatically out of the question).
