Absolutely.  I have never used a conventional PBX system that didn't 
behave that way (or wasn't able to be programmed to do so).  I'm in
my early days of trialling Asterix, and our first application will be
an internal intercompany/interoffice tie-line system where the transfer
feature will be rarely required.  Certainly this issue would be a 
show-stopper for full PBX replacement for us in the future.
