The link I provided would definitely be logging into your gtalk account. You can, however, get FreeSWITCH to do what you're asking, though you would do some fancy variable mongering on the channels to make sure they get connected. Perhaps it would be easier managing it with a conference (just put your original call into a special conference room, and then have Google Voice call the conference room and your original number via the script).
An interesting concept to say the least. I'm sure there's someone that has done something with this already in the community. Finding them may be easy or difficult, I haven't tried myself. It might be worth 20 minutes of searching the mailing list archives or whatnot. -Tod Hansmann /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
