Perhaps I am confused, but I tend to believe that Asterisk sits in the
middle of all these calls.  So when I press the # key for transfer it
could actually put the incoming call, allow me to dial and then speak to a
person and then when I press # again redirect that incoming call, or maybe
I could press * instead if I wasn't going to put the person through.  I
suppose this would only be possible where the SIP phones weren't doing a
native bridge between themselves though.  However perhaps an expensive 
phone in reception is just the easier option.
