Let me rephrase...

Since loopback is generally evil and should be avoided wherever possible, what does loopback give you that you can't get from doing a normal dialstring?

Why do you need to use loopback at all?

Got a lua script for a B-party "mid-call menu". Is it legitimate to do..
"session:execute("att_xfer", "loopback/"..destnum)"

I've tried it and it seems to start off doing the right things, but my
A-party gets disconnected as soon as the call to the C-Party (the person
I'm transferring the call to) answers the call.

Maybe better to try to orchestrate the entire affair from within the lua
script? (Tricky for a beginner like me!)

Thanks,
Alex
