[asterisk-dev] SUGGESTION: Attended and blind transfer in the same digit

[Anton]

I'd like to add that an existing feature when you do 
attended ZAP transfer, and than press flash the second 
time - transfer becomes a conference. it's just nasty. Any 
office PBX (Panas for example) do a conference while 
pressing "3" (or "conf" on proprietary extension) - then 
conference occurs. Imagine when the secretary - (the usual 
buautiful girl, with light head and nice voice, who does 
not know anything about technologies, and every button for 
her is the top of mountain of knowledge) - just press flash 
twice and transfer the call to me and I say to her, "I'm 
not here". Caller HEARS that. That happen to me, and my 
colleguses. Not once. Many times.
