Make CONSULT call without going on hold?

[FuzzyCoder]

In my scenario, I have an inbound call connected to an agent.  The agent needs to call a third party to create a conference.

I send the CONSULT request, and once the third party outbound call answers, I send a CONFERENCE and then all 3 parties can talk to each other.

The problem is that the inbound leg of this call is put on hold while the outbound leg is ringing.  I want the inbound and the agent to both hear the ringing and call progress of the outbound call.

How do I accomplish this, since the default CONSULT behavior is to place my inbound leg on hold?

I don't believe this is possible.

If CONSULT/CONFERENCE won't support it, is there any other way to accomplish this?   It's a requirement of my application.

[Thomas G. Johannesen]

isn't possible to send the CONFERENCE just after the CONSULT (Don't wait for the 3party to answer).

[Gerry O'Rourke]

Yes - I think that is possible.
