font-family:Verdana'>We are planning on using Asterisk as our main PBX for the
office over the next few weeks. Our current setup uses TDM400 cards to bring
our 8 lines into Asterisk, our Telco provides us an option for three way
calling and call transfer on the lines, option that we use extensively, we
rarely do conf call between people that are in the office and often somebody
will conf me on my cell from an office line and so on. Anyway to make a long
story short we needed an option to flash the zap trunk from either a soft phone
or an IP handset. I looked at all the available workaround like transferring the
call to an extension that would flash and transfer the call back to me, or I found
on voip-info.org somebody using the features.conf to make an option such as *3 to
flash, but the limitation with that procedure is you have to know who placed
the call to use the correct feature call (like *3 would flash the caller and *4
would flash the callee, depending on whether you received the call or made it)
which I found some what crazy. So I added a detect context to features.conf
which then finds which channel is the zap one and call the flash on the right
channel for you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
