Subject: simulate conference calling with 2 lines?

I have two lines at home, one normally used for a modem. Of
the 4 wires in any jack, red & green hook up the main line and
yellow & black (if connected to red & green on the phone) hook
up the second line.

I'm curious to know whether I can construct something which will
let me achieve conference calling by using both lines -- the
electronic equivalent to holding the mouthpiece of one phone to
the earpiece of another, I guess.  In other words, if I'm at home
talking to my wife on one line and our broker on the other, can
I do something which will let them hear each other as well as me?

I realize I can get conference calling from the phone company;
I'm curious as to whether I can do it with what I already have.
