[Asterisk-Users] [Fwd: Call forwarding]

[Michael D Schelin]

As far as I know Asterisk does not support normal PSTN  type call 
forwarding.  I.E. the user would type *72 etc.  This is called call 
forking. My Mulitech gateway does but at a huge price. Also T38 is 
supported.  I have several carriers that I use that have Asterisk. All 
of the Asterisk boxs won't  accept call fowarding. I send the calls to 
my carriers with Cisco gateways and the calls reroute correctly.  Now I 
have a proxie that controls everything. You may be able to do call 
fowarding with 2 boxes. But a call in and reroute back out may not work.
