[Asterisk-Users] Hold Pickup

You might want to check out bristuff: I comes with the new applications

Steal
Pickup
PickupChan
PickDown

and you could probably employ "Steal" although I don't really know how 
that interacts with calls that have been placed on hold:

  -= Info about application 'Steal' =-

[Synopsis]:
Channel independent call stealing. Just like pickup but for answered 
channels.

[Description]:
  Steal([group]):  Tries to steal the first bridged channel with 
callgroup == group. If called without the group argument, the pickupgroup 
of the channel will be used.


Cheers, Philipp
