Seems to *me* that what you need to do is able to dynamically pick the
call they want to deal with, and hand it to a meetme where the other
side's audio gets merged and fed to a 600ohm bridge, which goes
directly into your board.

IE: replace the hybrid.

You might pop over to the Rivendell mailing list; some of those people
might have something informative to say as well...

I don't know if Call Commander is Asterisk compatible (yet) or not.
