[Asterisk-Users] Parking a call in manager interface

[Thorben Jensen]

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your suggestion, it solved my problem. It's a shame that we
have to make workarounds to make simple things like call parking work from
the manager interface. I hope it will be solved in a future release.

Regards 
Thorben
