asterisk users - Sep 2004 - ZAP Hook flash / recall on active zap interface

Hi there,

I have a x100p card in an asterisk box.  Does anyone know if it's
possible to do a hook flash / recall on an active zap channel?

On what I'm trying to do...
>From an ordinary analogue pstn telephone I can call someone, press
recall, call someone else, press recall 3 & presto we're on a three
way chat, with me only using one line - using the telephone company's
3waychat feature...

I have tried Flash(Zap/1), and similar commands, however an error is
returned "Unable to create channel of type 'zap'".  I guess *
is
trying to open another non existent zap interface here...

So, does anyone know if / how this is possible using asterisk, with
just the one zap interface (x100p card)...

grateful for any feedback

cheers

The flash application flashes que current ZAP device, it doesn't take a 
parameter AFAIK. Correct me if I'm wrong.

For instance, you could use this for manual call deflection on a POTS line, if 
the user asks to be transfered to another branch, you could use Flash then 
Dial the DTMF digits to call the other extension and transfer.
