asterisk users - Nov 2003 - Transferring to Meetme

Hi all,

I'm wanting to take an existing call, and transfer both sides of it into 
a meetme room (yes I know the phones have a conference ability built-in 
but humor me).  What seems to happen is I can transfer one half of it 
fine, but as soon as I do that the other half hangs up.  Do I have to 
park it briefly?  If so, what does the call ID become once it's parked, 
so that I can subsequently transfer it to the meetme?

All of this must be done through the management interface and not 
require users pushing any button.s

Thanks.

- Matt

Use the ExtraChannel parameter, e.g.

Action: Redirect
Channel: Zap/23-1
ExtraChannel: Zap/2-1
Exten: 123
Priority: 1
