You are right. Thanks.
 
We will be using the conference server two days a week for one big conference and the rest of the week several small conferences.
We'll be using a 1-800 number so people dialing in will need a conference# and password.
 
Thanks again for your insightful responses.

Erm, no.

Its the 25th caller that will get rolled into the second line. A T1 can
support 24 chanels. You'll get a total of 48 chanels with 2 T1's.

I wouldn't bother with the Analogue card. I'd buy a SIP phone instead.
As long as you are within network reach of the server you'll be able to
do your testing.

Also, Are you planning on lots of little conferences or one big one?
This will dictate how you setup the conference system. Search the WIKI
for notes but basicly you can have everyone dial a common number and
then get challenged for 2 sets of keys (conference#, password#). This
will allow for lots of little conferences.

Or you could have lots of phone numbers attached to separate conferences
with just a password.

Or you could have .... You get the point.

There are pro's and con's with all methods. The biggest drawback with
lots of little ones is that you have no control over how many people get
invited to any given conference. If the Sales team are doing something a
bit sexy today they may tie up the whole system therby locking out the
Tech Support team's daily roundup meeting.
