As with my testing the theory is that it will bridge the call directly 
but in reality it does not seem to, I haven't tested this recently and 
there have been many changes to the CVS since then so maybe it will work 
now..

At the end of the day the only way to be sure is to set it up and give 
it a try then you will know for sure.. and be able to tell us.. :)

later..
