Use the "Local" channel type. Let's say you have a context called
"phones" with some extensions defined that go to the places you
want to connect, e.g.

[phones]
exten => 2000,1,Dial(SIP/2000)

exten => 2100,1,Dial(SIP/2100)

Then you can ring them both and make them talk to each other by making
a .call file as follows, and putting it into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing:

Channel: Local/2000 at phones
Context: phones
Extension: 2100
Priority: 1

That will ring extension 2000, and then when it answers it will ring
extension 2100 and connect them together.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Tony
