[VoIP] Can this be done?

[Shane Young]

you want to push a button, or do a little dance or something other  
than picking up a phone and making a call to the other end, but once  
you've started calling the other end, hang up ?

yes, you can do that.

I'm not sure I understand the part about trying to tie up a channel so  
you can get a different channel.  Why not just pick the channel you  
want?
