	Our PBX at work (An AT&T System 25, I think) has a similar feature.
I forget the exact sequence of what you need to "dial", but you can force
any call to be logged as originating from any extension.  The intent is to
allow you to make a call from somebody else's phone and have it charged to
yours, but of course, there is nothing to keep you from doing it the other
way around.
