I've been thinking about getting some IP DIDs for other reasons
anyway, so thanks for the suggestion.  There's a bandwidth issue
however and this client is simply more comfortable keeping things on
copper, especially con-calls.  As I mentioned the client's paying for
3-way calling from Bell, so is there no way to take advantage of this
and establish a three way call on a single FXO line through Asterisk? 
I've opened another thread on this issue as it's more fundamental than
my original 5 way calling problem.

Thanks,
Hugh
