Broadvoice only allows only the normal 3 way calling so is 2 channels for #

about BV i got a lot of water under the bridge.... every works ok supper 
ok for times. then BV brokes without you make a single change in your 
asterisk server and stop working.. if u call support you are the guy 
with the problem.. yes BV support sucks, and it took me 9 phone calls, 
12 emails, 3 chargeback and 2 call to my bank to remove myself from 
their billing all them well documented...

so my advice.... nothing can be worts than BV.
