Anyone ever heard of this?

0 Has anyone ever seen the word "abutment" used in the telecommunications jargon to mean "putting two different users of a phone service in contact"? I'm working on a translation and this concept keeps coming back and I can't find a proper noun for it. "Abutment" is the litteral translation of the French word "aboutement" used in the document; it seems to make sense given the definition but I couldn't find any convincing example of the word used in the telecommunications field. 02br
