[asterisk-users] Transfer Question

Sort of.  You can create a special extension in the operator's context
with a Goto() statement.  Something like this:

[operator]
exten => 100,1,Goto(internal,prompt,1)

Then in the internal context:

[internal]
exten => prompt,1,Background(who-do-you-want-to-call)
exten => prompt,2,Waitexten(10)

So, when the operator dials 100, he/she can then dial an extension in
the internal context.  Normal transfer from [operator] to [internal]
would not be allowed.
