<p>For this use case, you only need the option to whisper back to the secretary. I doubt the DTMF sequence will hold this back. The main issue is how to listen to one but talk to a different person.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For instance, the secretary whispers into the boss, “Hey, I have Mr. Jones on another call and he says it’s urgent. Do you want to take it?” and the boss wants to respond to the secretary right there without putting the current caller on
hold, so he hits *500 or something and tells the secretary, “Tell Mr. Jones I’ll call him back” without disrupting the current caller babbling on. Is this possible?<span><font color="#888888"><u></u><u></u></font></span></p>
