OK, so how does asterisk know how to bridge the two calls together and also, what is the syntax to dial another number is extensions.conf?

Three way calling would be interesting (and maybe impossible), but doing that with two POTS lines (or a POTS line and a VoIP provider, or just a VoIP provider, even) is trivial with Asterisk. You would accept the call from line #1 and dial out via line #2 to whoever. When the remote end picks up, the calls are bridged. Asterisk does this all day long. In fact, it's really one of the only two things Asterisk does (the other being play audio for and receive audio from a channel). It's incredible the amazing things you can do with a system that, in the end, really only does those two things!
