call-swap allows you to to swap between one call and another with each
flash. Flash once and you will answer the incoming call, flash again and you
get back to the original call and so on.

3-way is to put you in a conference with the 2 calls.

Even if you don't have an incoming call, you can send a flash to place a
second call yourself.

Does it hurt to set it globally (as per default), or does this mean

It does not hurt as long as you want it enabled for all your phones. If not,
you can enable it per span.

These options are meant for fxs ports (the ones where you connect your
phones), there is no way an fxo port will receive a flash (that is, the
telco/provider can't send you a flash).

Now, if you are a good citizen (and I am sure you are) you will compensate
my effort of writing this at 12:45am when I should be sleeping; and go ahead
and document what I just said in the FreeSWITCH wiki (wiki.freeswitch.org),
pleeeeeeease :-)
