All well and good, but that is awkward.
The point is/was that doing a transfer, talk or not, transferee answer 
or not, the transferer should be able to hang up and the call NOT get 
lost, the transfer complete and ring then overflow to voice mail.
Easier on ALL users and the way hybrid systems have worked for many a year
