[Asterisk-Users] Multi Asterisk Server Transfers

[Mike Sander]

I agree with you. If every office had a * server, it would be fine.

i.e. Office 1 rings office 2, then gets transferred to office 3, then
connection is direct from office 1 to 3, and 2 releases all contact.

However, what if office 3 is a 1 person office, with just a single SIP phone
connected to the VoIP provider. Full IAX trunking can do hand-offs quite
simply, I think, but when the destination is a single SIP connection, things
get messy.

Is this relevant to your answer, because I'm a little confused now?

With thanks

Mike
