You know, there's one other method that'd work great. Our old BizFon 
system allowed you to place a call on hold, and then press PICKUP on 
another phone. Then you dial the extension that originally placed the call 
on hold.

If I can transfer the call to a parking extension and have the system 
remember which extension I parked the call from, and if I could then 
create a dialplan that allows me to pick up the call based on which 
extension parked it, that'd work fine. It'd actually be great, because the 
behavior would be almost identical to that of our old PBX.

Thanks again,
