[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?

[Billy Huddleston]

That won't work.. That'll DIAL multiple phones/extensions, but will only
bridge 1 of them when it auto-answers..

What we need is a way to have something like meetme call multiple extensions
and bridge them to a meetme confrence (all of them muted but the admin of
course, as it's a one way page) and then we would have a true paging
system..
