It use to be with the phone relay system that if you dial all the numbers
except the last digit and then waited 20-30 seconds before you dial the
last digit, you would block other calls from getting pass you and would get
thru if the line was released in that time. I somewhat doubt that this is
still the case, but it might be worth the try.
