[asterisk-users] Emulating attended transfer through the dialplan

[Scott Gifford]

Hello,

I'd like to implement something similar to an attended transfer, but
with a little more control (I'd like to be able to use MixMonitor and
StopMixMonitor to control the call recording, set the account code,
etc.  I'm on Asterisk 1.4.26.

All of the ways I have seen to do this are complicated plans using
MeetMe and applicationmap features, and playing with those over the
weekend, none of them seem to get the CDRs right.

Ideally I'd like the sort of attended transfer you can get with a Zap
flash: First talk to transferee, then all talk together, then hang up
to let remaining parties talk to each other.

I could also live with a *2-style attended transfer.  When I use *2,
the CDRs are in a workable format, so it seems like a good start.

Is there any way to implement these without the problems that come
with MeetMe?  Or any suggestions on how to get usable CDRs out of
MeetMe?

Thanks!
