Meet-me is a generic term, came about some time in the 70's. I think the
first use was in hospitals, where people would be paged on a beeper. The
operator would park the call, page the doctor, and he/she would then call a
number that would "meet" an incoming call.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Is "Meetme" a generic term?
Just a trivial question: was the term "Meetme" invented for Asterisk
as
something like a brand name for its conferencing? Or was it an existing
generic term for dial-in conferencing?
Cheers
Tony
