asterisk users - Jun 2006 - d & e options in meetme()

I'm really confused on how to use these two options together:

A while back:

JustRumours

edited this page:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+MeetMe

and added a little section about dynamic conferences.  the 'e' option is
repeated all over the page as the savior of dynamic conferences, maybe 
I'm just dumb, but can someone tell me if a conference is created with 
the e & d option, how does one even figure out the conference number so 
that they can tell other people which conference to join.  Also what 
range of numbers is this conference automatically generated from, and 
can it be controlled? 

 From what I can tell if you pass 'e' then asterisk will think of
it's
own favorite magic number (that isn't currently being used) and generate 
a conference with that number, anyone else that wants to join they need 
to guess what that number is.

Sorry for my weak stab at humorous satire but it seems like something is 
missing here.

Thanks Miles

We use dynamic conferences with MeetMe.
As far as I can tell, the 'e' option is not needed.
We use a global var as counter for the conference number.
You provide it with the MeetMe command. This way you always know which
conference to join.
