Ah. When you said you used two "lines" I thought you were doing it a different way. To me the adhoc is probably the simplest way, because no pc would be involved.It might be a nice feature request, as suggested earlier. At the same time, "if it does work" using the adhoc conferencing or "joining calls" function on a phone, then it makes sense to simply do it that way until an more integrated solution is found.
I don't necessarily like the idea of having to use a computer to make conference calls if possible. Way too many things can go wrong.
