Well, the X100P is a single-span FXO interface, meaning it can only ever 
have one incoming PSTN line attached to it. And this would be the same 
as your using your regular phone -- if you're already talking on the 
line to someone, you can't very well make another phone call on the same 
line without hanging up the first call.

So you will not be able to do what you're talking about here. Perhaps 
you should look into getting Digium's TDM400P in a 1 FXO and 1 FXS 
module. And you'd also need to have two separate PSTN lines.

The "programming logic" that you talk about here certainly can be done 
with the * dialplan. Just the physical aspects that need addressing.

Cheers.
