We have a legacy PBX here. Panasonic make.
Analog extensions connected to it (a.k.a "stupid" extensions) behace exactly like the grandstream - you can put a call on hold, but if you put the handset back on the cradle it's bye bye Mary.
Digital extensions (a.k.a "smart" extensions) can hold a call indefinitely.
They can do other neat stuff too...

Antony,
Thanks. It seems that the GS will not keep the call on hold.
In the real world though, when you place a call on hold, it is held until
further action.
The caller will hear messages, music, anything while you are gone to look
for a file, etc.
Technically, if you place the call on hold and put the handset back on the
cradle, you DID NOT HANG UP to end the call.
If you want to hang up the call you will first have to take the call off
hold... No.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">OK. I guess I was not clear. Sorry.
The phone rings.
The person picks up the handset and speaks to the caller.
He then puts the call on hold by pressing the "HOLD" button on the GS
100 phone. The caller hears music on hold.

What happens if you do something else, like dial another extension, or
press
the hold button again (perhaps to retreive the original caller)?
I repeat one of my original questions - if this is not what you expected
to
happen when you hang up the phone, how would you expect to hang up the
call
when you wanted to?
