[asterisk-users] Remote-Party-Id and Attended Transfers

However, in the case of an attended transfer it IS a problem. The remote-party-id should be the party who initially called and the From: should be the party doing the attended transfer. This seems like a bug.

     o    - Specify that the CallerID that was present on the *calling* 
channel be set as the CallerID on the *called* channel. This was the 
behavior of Asterisk 1.0 and earlier.

Also from UPGRADE.txt:

Dialing:

* The Caller*ID of the outbound leg is now the extension that was
   called, rather than the Caller*ID of the inbound leg of the call.  The
   "o" flag for Dial can be used to restore the original behavior if
   desired.  Note that if you are looking for the originating callerid
   from the manager event, there is a new manager event "Dial" which
   provides the source and destination channels and callerid.
