[asterisk-users] Identifying invoking party for a feature

[Wayne P. HIll]

I didn't do anything except upgrade.  We were using 1.2.7 because of  
problems with transfer using Cisco 7960s over Sergio's chan_sccp  
driver in later versions.    After much frustration we dropped 1.2.10  
on last night, and it just worked.  Didn't make any changes at all to  
the dialplan.

Believe me I'm quite mystified right now, but I'm worried if I look  
into it too deeply it'll stop working for me, so I'm not asking too  
many questions just yet :)
