Does Asterisk make any distinction between an "internal" number and an
"external" number? I'm inclined to think it might be some kind of "timeout"
issue. And I've got the proof:

>From my Aastra 9xxx (don't know the number and I'm to lasy to go look) I can
transfer a call to any "extension", including the loooong extension required
for dialing an external number (ie: #0XXXXXXXXX). Unfortunatelly that's the
ONLY phone I can do that from! I can't do it from XLite softphone and I
can't do it from analog phones connected to a Linksys PAP2.

For the phones that are unable to transfer to external numbers I've got
"alias" extensions defined (basic, 3 digit extensions).
