[asterisk-users] No CallerID Transfer Problem

[Ken Williams]

Came upon a problem today that I thought I'd see if it's by design, if
I'm missing an option somewhere, or if my fix is the way to fix it.
 
We setup a remote location with a server, same as we've done with
others, but for some reason when they would transfer an outside call
anywhere it would pause for a few seconds and hang up the line.
 
Well, after spending most of the day on it, it turns out it's because
they don't have callerID on the PSTN lines coming in through zaptel.  My
first thought was, set "usecallerid=no" and all would be well, but this
didn't do any good.  After playing a bit longer I just set the
following:
 
        exten => 900,2,set(CALLERID(num)="606-555-1212")
        exten => 900,3,set(CALLERID(name)="Outside Call")
        exten =>
900,4,Dial(${DIALEXTENSIONS},${RINGTIMER},${DIAL_OPTIONS})

Now all works well.
 
So is there another option somewhere to keep asterisk from killing a
transfer without callerid?  This happened on both 1.4.17 & 1.4.18.1.
 
Thanks,
Ken
