To clarify:
I would like to be able to answer an incoming call, converse for an unknown 
amount of time, press a button on the phone that starts recording of the 
conversation (most preferably without either party hearing the DTMF tone), 
record the conversation for an unknown length of time, press a button on the 
phone (most preferably without either party hearing the DTMF tone), and 
continue with the conversation.

How can this be done?
