I think I would try something like inviting the voicemail, the caller, and
an auto-answer (intercom) channel on your VOIP phone into a MeetMe where
your voiphone is not allowed to talk, only listen. Then you would hear
what is going on and if you wanted to talk to the person you could join
the MeetMe on a different line and talk to the person.
