asterisk users - Jan 2004 - How to flash hook when there is no hook ?

Hi all,

I'm using regular analog phones with * and an ATA186, and I plan to move
to cordless phones. But cordless phones usually have no way to flash
hook cause there is no hook :-)

I seem to recall there is a way to simulate a flash hook using dtmf
tones in *, but I can't find which combination to use. 

More generally, where can I find all those magic cominations to put
people on hold, use pickup grouping, redirect calls,... ?

Thanks,

I just looked at my cordless phone and it has a flash button.

It's a Panasonic...

Switch Hook is also known as FLASH.  Pretty much all phones support
this.  Most cordless phones support this as well.
