Will the outgoing "legacy" call answer before you join it to the incoming call or will it be in some other state (like ringing). Reason I ask is that I have a couple of macros that do almost what you want to implement privacy manager on my system... Esentially plays a please hold message until a seperately dialed line accepts the anonymous caller.
