To bring this back on topic.  Have you considered leaving a phone with the
handset off the base, or speakerphone turned on in the room?  Set the zap
channel to immediate and send it to a special context.  Have the s
extension send into a meetme that is talker only and then all you have to
do is dial into the meetme and monitor the call.
