asterisk users - Dec 2006 - MeetMe Conferencing and Marked Mode

I am trying to set up a Conference room where users are put on hold
until the host arrives. I have figured out that the A option activates
marked mode and the w option is used to activate the waiting until the
marked user arrives. This seems to be what I need. What I can't seem to
find is how do I mark a user?

Thanks

I could be wrong but I reckon one way would be to give the "host" the
admin password. You may or may not need to then add in your DialPlan
the logic to "mark" the user entering the admin password as opposed to
users who enter the general PIN. I'm assuming that since meetme is
capable to authenticating against 2 PINs, it may auto-mark the user
entering the password defined as the "admin" password in meetme.conf.

I understood the docs as the "A" labeled users (entering through a
MeetMe(....A) command would be marked, while the "w" users
(MeetMe(...w)) would wait until an "A" user arrived.
Might be wrong though - I don't currently do conferencing because of
lack of a zaptel device in my Asterisk box (and kernel is non-modular,
and cannot be changed at the moment).

I'll give this a try but seems silly to require 2 different extensions
for one conference room. Thanks for the input.

I did try this and it doesn't work. When logging in with the admin
password it still waits for the "marked" user.
