[Asterisk-Users] Call park on SIP phones

I've implemented a bit of a workaround.

I've setup the dial plan 2XXXX in my system as the call park prefix.

When you want to park a call, you blind transfer to 2XXXX where XXXX is your
extension (eg: 27011). The call is parked, and you will immediately receive
a call announcing the park slot (eg: "Transfer 8 0 0 1").

The appropriate entry in extensions.conf looks like:
exten => _2XXXX,1,Answer
exten =>
_2XXXX,2,ParkAndAnnounce(pbx-transfer:PARKED|7200|SIP/${EXTEN:1}|local-exten
sions,${EXTEN:1},1)

This only works if the extension is SIP, but I'm sure it would be possible
to modify for others.
