Think residential installation where someone picks up the phone in one 
room but someone in another room wants to join the conversation.  
Ideally, I'd like to have "Line 1" on every phone (SIP or analog) behave 
this way.  Another poster pointed out a good potential approach using 
meetme.  When an incoming call comes in, it dials all SIP + analog 
phones.  When someone picks up (don't know how I can detect this), it 
could transfer both parties to a meetme room.  When additional 
extensions pickup, they go to the meetme room.  When everyone hangs up, 
the call ends.  Can this be done?
