> Not sure about this since I use the 10/11 branches and not 1.8, but I think you need to use the deprecated call-limit for BLF and the new busylimit for the other features you need.

Call-limit is the limit on the number of calls you can take and also sets a device to BUSY. Since you want to be able to transfer calls, you need at least two. But this did not set the phone to busy on one call. That's why we added busy-limit that can be set to the level you want device states to signal busy, but still give the ability to the phone to set up more calls.

counteronpeer is the same as limitonpeer, just a new name.

This change has other implications, however. Call waiting stops working, queues don't offer calls if the user is in a private call etc.
