Its fairly easy if you're using zaptel hardware.  Example:

zapata.conf

signalling=fxo_ks
immediate=yes
context=plar
channel=> 1


In extensions.conf

[plar]
exten =>s,1,Dial(Zap/2)


So if you pick up the phone on Zap channel 1 (in this case, the first port
on a TDM400P), it immediately starts ringing Zap channel 2 (the second
port).
