I believe you would do this by having extension 's' dial the
second phone.  I believe it would be best to have a new
extension context for this code.  Then, you need to associate
your new context in extentionss.conf with the channel your
phone uses.

Anyhow, I think this will work with a zapta interface and
a plain old telephone.  I don't know if the fancy network
phones try to contact asterisk/anybody when the receiver
is picked up.
