asterisk users - Jul 2004 - music on hold question with asterisk

hello I'm trying to figure out if anyone's accomplished putting someone
on
hold with a hardphone that doesn't have a hold button or multiple lines.
I'm
thinking transferring the caller to a specific extension or something...is
this possible? Has it been done?

thanks

hank

Why not try call parking...

Press # to initiate a transfer, then dial your parking extension. The
calling party will hear MOH and you will hear the extension they were
parked on. Simply dial that extension to pick them back up.

Hello Hank,

Would using parking not work for this? You can just have the timeout number
set extremely high, or set so it never times out and when you want to return
to the call - just dial the number that asterisk read to you. Read up on
parking, it may be what you want.
