[asterisk-users] Attended Transfer

[Arlen Nascimento]

Henry, according with voip-info.org, attended transfer is
"While on conversation with another party, you dial the atxfer key
sequence. Asterisk says "Transfer" then gives you a dial tone, while
putting the other party on hold. You dial the transferee number and
talk with the transferee to introduce the call, then you can hang up
and the other party will be connected with the transferee. In case the
transferee does not want to answer the call, he/she simply hangs up
and you will be back to your original conversation."
The callee is put on hold "automatically"

Eric, attended transfer is only possible with an ATA??
