asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Multiple telephone participants

I am brand new to Asterisk.  My question is if I want to have multiple
participants all listening, or listening and talking, do I need to have a
separate telephone line for each, or can they all dial in using a single
telephone number and a single line?

Thanks,
John Fistere

John,

Basic intelligence would tell you that if you have a single pstn phone
line you will only be able to get a single phone call occurring over
that phone line correct?

 

If you want to have a conference call with multiple people all dialing
in then you would need multiple lines.

 

If you only have a single pstn line to your home/business then why not
get a voip service with multiple indial and have people call that number
for conference calls.

 

If this isn't a commercial service and paying for a voip indial service
is not plausible then why not set up your friends to dial in via
broadband internet extensions and set them up as extended extension off
a single pabx residing on your lan

 

Dean

p.s. with apologies to Critchfield, I almost feel we are being 'trolled'
some days.

Hi John,

Here's the best place for you to start looking for voip providers

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-VOIP+Service+Providers+Business 

 

and no I work 24x7.

 

Trolled meant it is such a basic question that's all but hey everyone
has to start somewhere once.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Dean

We are a medical foundation and a voip indial service is a possiblitiy.
I wasn't aware that such a thing exists.  The person who proposed this
to us would have probably explained it all to me if it were not the
weekend.  He is a volunteer for the foundation.

 

Side question:  You feel you are being "trolled" for what?

 

Cheers,

John
