Native attendant transfers are not available in FOP (nor in asterisk
unless you use 1.6 or patch 1.4).

FOP use a kind of hack to perform the task, putting a caller on hold,
redirecting channels to a meetme room, and reconnecting the held
channel to the meetme when one of the parties hangs up. So, it is kind
of  a kludge. It works. But it uses meetme for bridging and for that
very same reason the call logic is broken... it is not intuitive to
the user (because once the call is transferred you are inside a meetme
room).

I will implement native attendant transfers with asterisk 1.6.
