[Asterisk-Users] Re: Conferences using Manager API

[Paulo]

Many thanks! This worked just fine for me.
I only had to compile the ztdummy module, since I
don't have any Digium cards installed. From then on,
everything works as expected. I am able to redirect
two channels at a once to the meetme room and
afterwards, using "Originate", I am able to invite
additional parties to the conference.

Cheers
Paulo
