I think this kind of functionality is supported by some SIP phones. Well
the docs of my budgetone says it does, but I've never tried it.

 From what I understand, if you are using, say, 2 IAXys, then they will
sort of automagically communicate directly with each other once the
communication is established.

I also think SIP has a similar mechanism (REINVITE?) - but then again
I'm fairly new to VoIP so I might be talking all rubbish. If I am please
someone correct me :-)
