Not PBX, Key System.  See Call Parking.  You park the call by doing a 
consultative/supervised transfer to a special extension.  The Park app then 
reads back a number, this is the parked extension number.  You then give 
this number, and anyone in the right context can dial the number into their 
handset (SIP, IAX, or otherwise) and be connected to the parked caller.
