All you need is enough bandwidth to upstream one good signal, the users on this list willing to donate bandwidth and equipment can then redistribute it to the others. I don't think Dial up is a very good idea, but having access to a shared T1 or even wireless internet access may be a possibility.
Another thing you could do is use a regular phone to call into a DID and enter the conference, then everybody can join that conference and listen. No bandwidth required, just a phone call to the distributor's Asterisk server. Then just keep that phone near the person speaking, like a microphone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olle E.
