font-family:Verdana'>We are planning on using Asterisk as our main PBX for the office
over the next few weeks. Our current setup uses TDM400 cards to bring our
8 lines into Asterisk, our Telco provides us an option for three way calling
and call transfer on the lines, option that we use extensively, we rarely do
conf call between people that are in the office and often somebody will conf me
on my cell from an office line and so on. Anyway to make a long story short we
needed an option to flash the zap trunk from either a soft phone or an IP
handset. I looked at all the available workaround like transferring the
call to an extension that would flash and transfer the call back to me, or I
found on voip-info.org somebody using the features.conf to make an option such
as *3 to flash, but the limitation with that procedure is you have to know who
placed the call to use the correct feature call (like *3 would flash the caller
and *4 would flash the callee, depending on whether you received the call or
made it) which I found some what crazy. So I added a detect context to
features.conf which then finds which channel is the zap one and call the flash
on the right channel for you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
