asterisk users - Feb 2006 - query about Three way calling

Hi all
 I am a new user of asterisk and want to implement three way
calling but not getting any information about how to configure
asterisk conf file, Dial Plan etc..
 whether a Digium card is essential or not?
 Is Three way calling is same as MeetMe or separate feature in
asterisk?
Can You please send me some Document or link where
i can get all relevant information.

thanks in advance

If you only need "3" way calls, most IP phones / ATAs will handle this
for you without having to configure anything in * using their conference
feature. Keep it simple.

Meetme is most typically used for conference bridging were each
participant calls the conference bridge directly, this is different than
one user originating 2 calls.
