I just got shanghaied to be an executive board with members geographically
dispersed
throughout the province. Currently they are using a phone patch system but
permission is a bit hazy and it only has 8 ports. A bit tricky with 12 members.
Currently many of the members who are in the same city gather at someone's house
and
use a speaker phone there. But that doesn't always work. Today at least two
people
couldn't get in.

MSN only allows four people to be in an audio conversation. Anyone know of any
free
software which allows up to 12 people or so?

I think pretty much everyone would have high speed Internet.

Asterisk would handle this, I believe. I haven't used the conferencing
features just yet. I am sure a Google search would turn up loads of info!

Also, you might look into Free World Dialup. It has conference
functionality as well.

Good luck,

Jonathan

I didn't even bother to try as I'm sure there'd be so much crap showing up in any
search it would be impossible.

Sheesh, I'm an idiot. Search using gets me at least two free systems in the
sponsored links on the right hand side.

That'll teach me to make assumptions. <smile>
