asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Strange problem: can't fit into subject

Hi all,

I'm experiencing something rather strange with our Asterisk setup.  I'll
go through the steps.

Scenario 1:

1. I call someone on the outside (from my analog phone extension).
2. Everything appears honkey dorey.
3. Transfer called party to conference or another extension - fails.

Scenario 2:

1. Receive a call at my extension from the outside.
2. Everything appears honkey dorey.
3. Try to transfer caller to conference or another extension - success.

I've made sure the dial string I'm using has the "t" option,
and really,
since scenario 2 is working, I'm certain I've set up the dial plan
properly.  It is rather odd that in Scenario 1 when I press the "hash"
button on the phone, the called party can hear the tones, but in
Scenario 2, the called party hears music immediately after I press the
"hash" button (as they should).

I'm completely stumped about Scenario 1.  Does anyone have an idea why
it would fail, but Scenario 2 doesn't?  The only thing I've been able to
come up with so far is perhaps it's an issue with DTMF not being
detected.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Ranbir

You need a T also go do show application dial, and t and T are different.
