[Asterisk-Users] New native assisted transfer (atxfer) usage info required

[Asterisk List]

I had it working.  My features.conf file is the same as yours except
for the [featuremap].  I use "##" for blindxfer and "**" for atxfer. 
In my dial plan I use "t" or "T" as the Dial() flag.

Make sure that you have beep.gsm and beeperr.gsm in the asterisk sound
file folder.  If these files are missing, transfer will fail.

When I hang up the call is transferred.  When the transferee does not
want to answer, he/she hangs up and I am back with the original
caller.

My dialplan sends busy calls to voicemail, so that I can simply press
"#" to exit from the transferee's voicemail and get back to the
caller.
