Maybe this isn't viable.

I would like to make a landline call to my home office that somehow once
connected dial out long distance from my home office landline. Since, I have
Unlimited domestic calling in US from my home office, it would be nice when
I'm out at a local clients resident to make a call to my home and then call
with from my home office number landline which us toll free.

I hope I explained it correctly for you to understand what I am trying to
think of doing.

How can this be done?

Thanks,
jt

You could get the free Asterisk IP PBX with two FXO ports to connect to
two phone lines coming into your home. Configure it so that you can
dial in on one line and then dial out long distance on the other using
an access code.

I'm not even sure that's possible but it sounds like a good idea. :)
I'm sure someone with more experience than I have (that wouldn't be too
difficult) will have a few better ideas.

The is another nice benefit to my idea if you have this IP PBX
connected to the Internet. If you are at another site that has
high-speed Internet access you could dial into your home PBX using a
softphone via IP instead of using a landline. That would be especially
useful if you were out of town and needed to make a long distance call.
Regards,
John

It's known as a call bridge.

If your home office phone has three-way calling, check out the
Ultimate Call Handler at www.sandman.com. You call in, punch in a
security code and the number to call, it does a hook flash, calls the
number, then flashes again to connect the two calls.

That's the good news. The bad news is that it costs $190, which is a
fair price for such a complex piece of equipment, but for the same
price you could also buy 45 hours of calls on a typical 7 cpm calling
card. If it were up to me, I'd get the calling card and use my phone
when I was in the office.

This is not exactly what you asked but (if you do not have call
waiting or similar) you could use PC anywhere or other program to
connect, from your clients computer (which supposedly is connected to
the internet through a fast connection), to your computer which in
turn has a voice modem connected to the landline.
