I've never bothered with Flash myself. I'd setup an account with an
ITSP like VoipJet or Sixtel. Then you can initial the calls from
in-house and make multiple outgoing connections, transfering each into
meetme. Then again, if you used a sip phone (as opposed to an ata or
TDM) you could conference one the phone withour resorting to meetme.
