Ok I just tried this.  It works!  Without touching any code :)

I had to sneak in in the middle of a busy teacher calling schedule---I
needed both lines free to be able to test this.

To enable this feature for your cellphone, instead of calling yourself
"staff," you need to put your cellphone Person in the "test" group.
(Not the case currently---I don't want to confuse people :)

If you do that, your cellphone will behave just like Zoiper---in
particular, you'll be able to record in the database the conversation
between your cellphone and any other regular phone!  Sweet!  :)

But again, remember, when you're using this feature, both lines will
be unavailable to anyone else, so check the teacher-calling schedule
first, if you want to avoid interfering with the regular teacher call
schedule.

If you use Zoiper (instead of your cellphone), then only one line is
used, and the other line is still available for regular teacher calls.

Later, I will add multi-party conferencing---the result can be also
routed through the voice database.
