[TriLUG] Asterisk: SIP call transfer

[Brian Henning]

Ha!  Nevermind me. :-)  I found it.

For the curious:  The Dial(...) which originates the call to the SIP 
client has to include the "t" option ( Dial(SIP/userid,timeout,options) 
), then if the SIP client dials a #, Asterisk jumps in and pushes the 
call back into the dialplan on whatever extension the SIP client dials 
within the client's context.  It's the "t" option that tells Asterisk, 
"Allow the recipient to transfer the call."
