Thank you so much for your reply.  Please forgive my ignorance, but how 
exactly would one do this with Manager?  I know there is a Redirect 
command, but this won't actually connect two callers, only send them to 
the same MeetMe room (for instance), which doesn't solve the problem.

Or was there something else you had in mind?

It does seem a little strange that a system as advanced as Asterisk has 
no way to connect two calls...

Many thanks,

Matt.
