asterisk users - Apr 2011 - Transfer beep w/ Polycom phone

Hi all.

When a user transfers a call by pressing the "transfer" soft button on
their
phone, I'd like it to "beep" at them when the transfer is
complete.  I've got
it turned on in features.conf:

xfersound = beep               ; to indicate an attended transfer is complete 
xferfailsound = beeperr        ; to indicate a failed transfer 

However, it seems that transfer is a function of the phone, not Asterisk.  Is 
there any way I can configure the Polycom phones to either use the Asterisk 
function, or to make a "beep" when a transfer completes?

TIA,

-- 

Take care and have fun,
Mike Diehl.

The Polycom "soft" button can be a bear.  I'd recommend looking at
sip debug
on the transfers and modifying features.conf accordingly since I'll bet your
users would NOT like to lose their "soft transfer" key.
