I need the person who initiated the conference call to call the others and join
them by herself. If I understand correctly, with the MeetMe you have to
initialize the conference and then people dial by themselves into it. This
won't be acceptable by the secretaries here...

Yehavi,

Can you make a script that uses call files to get everyone into the 
conference?

Possible, but looks too much cumbersome... However, that's a nice idea.
