[Asterisk-Users] Putting a call on hold

[Lyle Giese]

I am not sure about this as I have not actually done it yet.  You could park
the call.  Hit the # and send it to extension 700.  Allison will announce
which slot the call is parked on.  You can hang up the phone and pick up the
call from any extension on the pbx by dialing the slot the call is parked
on.

Now figure out how to give a parked call MOH and you will be all set.
