You can do this, and I've posted how to do it... Although I've been
called idiotic when I said it.  Amazingly enough it was working for me
so not so idiotic.

Good luck on your ventures.

This has the same problem as a "catch" rule -- suggested in other
posts
-- for the invalid extension. I don't want to catch *ALL* transfers.
Likewise, if extension 450 dials 451 but hits 481 by mistake -- just an
extension to exenstion call -- then I surely don't want to send *THAT*
to the operator.

All these things would work fine *IF* I could somehow separate
"transferring"
into *its own context*. But, it isn't clear you can do that. Actually, I
don't even need to catch transfers managed by Asterisk -- just the blind
transfers done by the Grandstream itself.

I'm still completely newbieville to how SIP works, but it looks to me as
though I'm asking for Asterisk to be able to do something different when
it gets an INVITE from a phone that *already has a channel open*.
