[asterisk-dev] Another dial-option, catching hangup of caller party

[Johan Wilfer]

I've implemented this feature and posted a patch on bug #0011954
"When the caller hangs up - transfer the called party to the specified 
context and extension provided by this option"

Please give it a try, and comment..

Greetings Johan
