Wanted: Voice over IP hacker

Welcome to the future: Thanks to stunning breakthroughs in technology, even the most simple of things aren’t possible anymore.

Namely: Attaching a second handset with muted microphone to a Cisco 7940 Voice over IP Telephone.

The actual end-user request is the following:

If A is talking to «customer», B should be able to listen in without «customer» being aware of this. If need arises, B should be able to tell A things that «customer» shouldn’t be able to hear either.“

The simple solution of perhaps just attaching a set of cables or something like that of course apparently isn’t available. Now I’m realizing that we’re dealing with high-tech, and with a voice over IP telephony solution. Perhaps one can hack the Cisco Callmanager to redirect parts of the ongoing conversation to the telephone of B?

Should anyone have any ideas for this, send me a message please!

Vor einer Weile habe ich mich über ein Buzzword ausgelassen. Natürlich folgt die Strafe dafür auf dem Fusse; Nicole Simon fragt, was man denn nun jeweils unter „Digital Lifestyle“ versteht. Sowas ist ja richtig „Lehrerhaft“: Anstatt eine Antwort zu liefern, wird eine Hausarbeit draus.

Was solls, mir fiel beim letztem Spaziergang genug dazu ein:
