I would be a very happy user if I could see this in Asterisk 1.4 :)
But as Atis pointed out, it would be interesting to have 2 different
events, to make the difference between blind and attendd transfers.

Also, as Atis said, it would be nice to hace both durations on the log :)


Thanks for the great job!
