asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Call parking/transfer not working on IAX2 connections

Hi there,

Maybe this has been cared about before but I could not find any solution to 
this problem either in the wikis or in the list archived. If someone has 
found a solution before please just tell me where I can find that 
info..thanks :)

I am using iaxComm to call other people who are either using SIP or also IAX 
clients, like me.

All of us are connected to the same asterisk server.

When I talk to someone who is connected via SIP, I have no problems 
transfering him or parking him, it all works very well.
But if the other party is connected via IAX like I am, then the pound-key will 
not work, I do not hear any "transfer" message.

Please note that I am always using the same client, iaxComm, while just some 
of the others have SIP or IAX clients.

So...why is my pound key not working when I am talking to someone who is 
connected via IAX? I did not find and clue about this anywhere :( 

Ah yes, the Dial entry is probably correct as it is always the same because 
it's included in a macro which is used by all normal extensions and includes
both the t and T parameters.

Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks a lot!!

Okay, this is a bit of a guess.
iaxcomm -> sip. call stream has to always go through * therefore # will work.
iaxcomm -> iax. call stream will re-invite (perhaps not correct phrase for
use
with iax) unless canreinvite=no. Once clients are talking directly * is out 
of the stream therefore # cannot work.
