I agree with you. If every office had a * server, it would be fine. i.e. Office 1 rings office 2, then gets transferred to office 3, then connection is direct from office 1 to 3, and 2 releases all contact.
However, what if office 3 is a 1 person office, with just a single SIP phone connected to the VoIP provider. Full IAX trunking can do hand-offs quite simply, I think, but when the destination is a single SIP connection, things get messy. Is this relevant to your answer, because I'm a little confused now?

Less IP overhead, between offices and to the ITSP. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
