There is an auto-answer speakerphone that might do what you described:

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Intercom system (not paging system)

I've looked around and found previous discussion about this, but so far I have not seen any answers that really solve this problem.

I'd like to integrate an intercom system into Asterisk so that users could dial an extension, the phone on the other end would emit a beep, and then the speakerphone would activate letting two people have a conversation without the person at the extension picking up the phone. This is a huge benefit for an office/warehouse environment.

I know that this can be programmed with certain Cisco phones (set to autoanswer), but my problem is that the phones that I want to do this with are down in our warehouse and I think the Cisco phones would be stolen quickly. I've also thought about a writing a software solution with microphone and a set of speakers, but, again, the computers would probably end up getting stolen.

A $20 analog speaker phone would work great if I could wire the speaker phone to pick up the line automatically on ring and then hang up the line on disconnect. Anyone know how to change the wiring to get it to work?
