In most versions of Asterisk, the best you can do is to put both calls
into a Meetme room with a unique room number. The drawback with that is
that when one of the parties hangs up, it doesn't automatically hang up
the other party.

There have been one or two enhancements proposed in the past to allow
one channel to grab another and bridge to it, but I don't think such an
application has made it into official versions yet (1.4 or trunk).
