>From what I know, you can't configure the polycom transfer button to do
blind transfers by default.  You just have to make sure to manually press
the blind softkey every time you do a transfer for the parking lot.  My
solution was to set '#' as the asterisk transfer key, and remap the Polycom
transfer key to '#'.  Actually, my even more simplified solution was to hack
parking as a feature in features.conf.  I then set the '*' key to use the
parking feature, and remapped the services key to '*'.  I have a patch for
this, if you want it.

Now I need to do my part and test out the new metermaid feature in Olle's
test-this-branch ;-)
