Not really, the # transfer was added for people who use non-PBX phones, 
in otherwords standard home type analog phones.. If you use IP phones or 
PBX compatible analog phones then the T and t options are not needed 
because transfer is supported by the phone..

I don't use any analog phones on my system so I can't tell you what 
features to look for in analog phones, maybe someone else can help there..

Later..
