And while there are some workarounds, they all have both usability issues, and security issues. (They need to work through the web interface, which is very insecure)  So I am stuck with SIP Communicator.  I would MUCH prefer Blink, but transferring calls is simply a must have for me.  And while my mother always told me that I am special, I do not think my needs are really that uncommon. :)

Lee,

You seem to be confusing SIP protocol in general with particular ways Asterisk is doing parking, conferencing or other functions.
