Probably the easiest (requiring the least knowledge and labor) would be to use cron to schedule a script that would create a call file in /tmp/ and then move it to Asterisk's outgoing directory. Your call file would call you and then jump into your dialplan where you would use system() to create the remaining call files and then dump you into a meetme conference. The remaining call files would call the DID and then jump into your dialplan where you would dump the calls into your meetme. If you have the skills, AMI (scheduled by cron) would probably be "best." -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000
