[asterisk-biz] full-featured IP-PBX

[Carlos Hernandez]

Guys:

You don't want to be "learning" on a customer's live site..
You learn and practice all you like at your home's LAN.. where you can 
afford to break things.
TB works fine for me cos I understand the logic of the design, and 
Asterisk config files, includes, etc. It's flexible enough to do what 
the customers want.

One question though, to all reading the thread, not related to TB, but 
Asterisk:  How do you go around recovering a call that is ringing on an 
extension, after its being transferred to it? Say you now want to grab 
the call and send somewhere else, etc?


That feature people ask for a lot..

Thanks.
Carlos
