[Asterisk-Users] Redirect two channels to each other?

[mattf]

Maybe this would best be explained in a diagram:

1).  person A <---> music on hold      and      person B <---> music on hold

2).  *some manager API action*

3).  person A <---> person B


This is what I think he's asking about, how do you take two parties on
different conversations and put them together without using a meetme
conference?

As ny 10 year old step-daugher says "I don't get it.."

Can't you just do a redirect if you specify the channels, * doesn't care
if they are bridged together or not.  You may end up with zombie
channels if the other leg does not drop, but you could do a soft hangup
and take care of that..


Or am I missing something????

I've been scratching my head trying to think of a way to do this, but
without success yet.

I'm using the Manager API. If I have two channels linked to each other
(i.e. direct connection), or even if they are independent channels, I
can transfer them both to the same extension by using Action: Redirect
and using Channel: for one and ExtraChannel: for the other. This is most
useful for putting them both in the same Meetme conference.

What I want to do is find a way to take two unrelated existing channels
(which for the sake of argument might be sitting in MusicOnHold,
separate conferences, the same conference or whatever), and link them
together into a direct call rather than having them talk via their own
Meetme conference.

Does anyone have any ideas if this can be done?

Cheers
Tony
