No, you won't be able to save the call if the far end goes down.  Best 
you could do would be to enable qualify, track then the agent phone goes 
offline, if a call also drop around that time frame, initial some sort 
of callback.

However, solve the issue at the source. Spend the money for a UPS at 
each desktop, convert your phones to PoE and install a UPS in your 
server room.
