As of this afternoon, Mark had accepted the changes for the MeetMeCount
app and made them part of CVS. So if you grab the most recent CVS
checkout you can get this new feature. What you will then do is
something like...

exten => 1234,1,MeetMeCount(1234|count)
exten => 1234,2,Gotoif,$[${count} < ${CONFMAX}]?1234|3:1234|103
exten => 1234,3,MeetMe(1234)
exten => 1234,4,Goto(s|1)

exten => 1234,103,Background(TooManyUsers)
exten => 1234,104,Goto(s|1)


Hope this helps.
