While waiting for the edits to the wiki, here are the steps for a 3-way call:
1. Get the first party on the line (you call him/her, or s/he calls you).
2. Tell him/her to hold on.
3. Flash the switchhook (about 1/2 second). (Some phones have a flash button; on Nortel phones, it's called "Link.")
4. After the dial tone, dial the second number.
5a. When the second party answers, flash again to reconnect the first party.
-or-
5b. If the second party doesn't answer or there's a busy signal, the second flash will disconnect and return to the first call.
6. Assuming 5a above, the second party can be dropped from the call by flashing one more time.
