Of course you can take another call. The people in the conference will  
keep talking to each other even if you take another call and the  
conference is put on hold from your perspective. It is not on hold in  
the real sense, as the other participants can still talk to each  
other, it just removes you from the conference when you take the other  
call. You can of course re-enter the conference by selecting it later  
if you need to. Holding a conference works differently from the host  
perspective than holding a simple call as it doesn't involve sending a  
re-INVITE and stopping the media stream. In the conference case, the  
host is just removed from the input and output audio channels, in  
order to allow the rest of the participants to continue with the  
conference.
