I'm running RedHat 9 with a TDM400 (2FXO, 2FXS). Before I implemented Asterisk, some users were using Bell services to set-up 5 way calling: The user would set up a three way call on one line, switch to the second line, set up another 3 way call and then link the two lines together with the Flash key, thus establishing a 5 way call (the user, 2 others on line 1, another 2 on line 2). How can I accomplish the same thing w/ Asterisk? I had thought that perhaps the user could set up a three way call, transfer that to a Meet-Me conference room, then set up another three way call on the other line and transfer that to the same Meet-Me conference room. Would that work? It's a little difficult for me to "try" this, so if you have insight I'd be grateful. BTW what's the quality like in the Meet-Me conference room? Is it comparable to what Bell would provide? Thanks, Hugh

Hugh, Meetme works great, yes you should definitely do this. One of the main reasons I use asterisk at home is for running many conference calls each day.
