asterisk users - Jun 2004 - Manager logic to pickup a ringing extension

Can the Manager Redirect command transfer a ringing SIP extension?  I'm
trying to implement a Camp On feature, and having failed to do it in Dial
Plan logic, am trying to do it with manager logic.  If an arbitrary Sip
extension is ringing, I need the ability to pick up that extension from any
other phone.  What little docs there are on Manager commands shows Redirect
takes these parameters:

Action: Redirect
Channel: Zap/1-1
Context: transfer
Exten: 5555555555
Priority: 1 

If I'm at Sip channel Sip/nmartin (extension 101), and the phone ringing is
Sip/Foodaddy (extension 100), It doesn't seem possible to get that call
transferred TO my extension, using the example context that accompanies the
Redirect sample on the WIKI:

[transfer]
 exten => _.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
It doesn't look dooable.

Any ideas?

Better is to transfer the leg of the call which is causing the SIP phone
to register:
Call comes in on Zap/1-1 and walks the dialplan until it gets to:
Dial(SIP/Foodaddy)

So you send the manager command:

Action: Redirect
Channel: Zap/1-1
Context: mycontext
Exten: 101
Priority: 1
