At one office, I'm on Centrex, and we have phones from Comdial with a TAP button. When you press the switchhook (no matter for how long), the phone stays on-hook for exactly the time Centrex needs to know you want to hang up. When you push TAP, it does a flash. Maybe you could find a phone that functions similarly; it makes Centrex's transfer feature pretty painless. Miguel Cruz
