Hi Andrew, I assumed it was just a software configuration with Bell.
But it would be interesting to actually find out for "real". Firstly I
don't think Bell have a C/F on Busy/Unanswered
So it would have to be an "Always" oh! ...of course another bonus would
be that you can still use the line for dialing out.
Have a better one ....

Yes, this is true, but there is a limitation on the # of call-forward-busies
that Bell will allow on regular FL1 lines. I was made aware of this from
Norm (I have no idea what your last name is!) at one of the TAUG meetups long
ago. This guy's a guru when it comes to the inner workings of Bell, and I
assume it's because he's dealt with them and VOIP for so long (WELL before
Asterisk) that it's become second nature to him.
I have personally done this years and years ago with the old "make your BBS
available in other areas by getting a line in someone's basement who lives
locally to both exchanges and permanently call-forwarding it to your real #"
trick. Norm's assured me that they got wise to that a while ago and have put
limitations on the number of call-forward-busies. It's a total software
limitation.
With Centrex lines you can hookflash and transfer at the CO-side, but that's a
royal pain in the ass.
