[Asterisk-Users] # Transfers.

[Asterisk List]

The current CVS HEAD version already has ## transfer built-in.  See
the included configs/features.conf.sample file.  You can define your
own transfer key sequence.  There is also an attended transfer
feature.

features.conf file:

[featuremap]
blindxfer => ##
atxfer => **

This worked very well for me.
