asterisk users - Mar 2007 - Pickup some else's call

Question:

Is it possible to pickup someone else's call who didn't "park"
a call?
My boss would like to see a way to pick up some one else's incoming call
if they aren't at their desk and it's not forwarded. So if my phone were
ringing and he knew i ran down the hall, he could press some key combo
and give my extension, and it would transfer that incoming call to him.

Possible?
Rob

Group pickup / call pickup is the feature you want.    You put everybody 
in a group and if you want to grab a ringing phone, you just hit the 
group pickup code.
