[asterisk-users] Polycom Call Parking

[Kevin Kiely]

I tried unsuccessfully to get this to work.  I am using AAH 2.7 which has
asterisk 1.2.5.

I don't think the 'k' options will show in the Dial() application, but
you should be able to use it anyway.

It's possible, though, that the patch won't work with the version of
asterisk that you're using.  It was designed for /trunk, and not for
the tarball 1.2.x releases.  I actually don't use that patch.  I wrote
a different one that's designed for the 1.2.x tarball releases.
