However I'm still struggling with it I'm afraid. I've tried using Dial and I'm finding that when the original channel is hung up it all seems to stop working.

I believe I made one mistake in my example, I don't use a call to Queue
in my local channel without a partner channel (the customer). I'll
revisit this later today when I have some time, I'll be glad to help you
if I can recall the right solution :)
