[Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer Problem

[Andy Powell]

Sorry, 

I might be being stupid, but I don't see what the problem is.

Following your example,

1. Secretary calls someone for the Boss
2. Other caller answers, Secretary asks other end to wait.
3. Secretary presses the flash button (or recall or whatever it's called on the phone)
4. Secretary dial boss, tells boss that caller is on the line
5. Secretary hangs up, boss has caller.
