[Asterisk-Users] Call transfer problem

My dial statement is (for testing purposes):
    123,1,Dial(H323/192.168.1.55|20|tT)

When a caller dials extension 123 I can connect and talk without difficulty.
Both the caller and the callee can press # to drop back to asterisk.
The caller can dial an extension and transfer the callee.
When the callee tries to dial an extension, I get:

    Unable to find extension '<first digit or two>' in context ' '

It seems to me that the callee is not given a proper context and therefore
cannot dial extensions in asterisk without first calling the pbx.  If the
pbx calls an extension, that extension is in limbo.

ManxPower from the Asterisk IRC has had the same problem but has not needed
the transfer capability so has never looked into it farther.  I know other
people have gotten this to work because I've read testimonys in the mailing
list archives saying that they did get it working.

I'm wondering how this was accomplished?  I am using a week old version of
asterisk from cvs on an Athlon 600 with 512 Megs of RAM, Slackware 8.1,
2.4.20 kernel.
