Your SIP device does not support attended transfers?  That really 
sucks.  T and t are cool hacks for devices that do not support 
transfers.  If your devices support their own transfer feature (odd 
enough usually labeled "Transfer") then there is NO REASON to use T/t 
transfers.  If your SIP devices do not support their own transfer 
option then either you didn't do enough research before you installed 
Asterisk or you were just too cheap when buying phones.

Do you really need to park outbound external calls?
