FOP works like this:

In the manager you have to use the Redirect command:

Action: Redirect
Channel: XXXX
ExtraChannel: YYYY
Exten: MEETME_ROOM_EXTENSION
Context: MEETME_ROOM_CONTEXT
Priority: 1

The two parties will land in a meetme room. Its instant, and its hard
to notice that you have been redirected to a meetme.

Then originate from the third channel a call to the same meetme room.

Action: Originate
Channel: ZZZZ
Exten: MEETME_ROOM_EXTENSION
Context: MEETME_ROOM_CONTEXT
Priority: 1

You need to setup your extensions.conf accordingly...

Its kind of a hack but it works. Now, how can you make it from a
handset or directlly from the dialplan, I dont know. Maybe you have to
look at those java wrappers that mix agi with manager.

Best regards,
