Re: [Asterisk-java-users] Call redirection

[Jan E. <jan...@pl...>]

After one of our guys that at least pretend to know Asterisk did some 
restructuring of the dialplans (for other reasons) it all started to work. 
Redirection now works as it should. Don't ask me what was wrong, I have no 
idea and neither did the guy.

Oh well, I'm happy it works. :)
