Be aware that there are several different conferencing solutions for asterisk.
I've used app_meetme in asterisk 1.8 (the LTS release) pretty happily. It is reasonably full featured and well supported. It has 2 drawbacks : 1) it needs a kernel module (Dahdi) to do the mixing and timing 2) it only does narrowband codecs If you like living nearer to the edge, there is app_confbridge in asterisk 1.10 (aka 10) which removes those 2 issues, but is new and so lacks some of the support (e.g. web modules etc) In terms of numbers, I've always found that user management issues kick in before the software/hardware limitations. Your milage may vary. T. On 20 Apr 2012, at 18:20, Mitchell Johnson wrote: > We're looking into using Asterisk to do our conferencing.
