Please don't hit "reply" on an existing message when you want to start
a new topic. It makes your message get mixed in with another thread.
Instead, start a NEW message and put the list address in from your
Address Book.

Not directly. You will need some kind of program that is using the
Manager API to monitor activity and issue the unmute commands.

Alternatively, make your own customised version of MeetMe itself.

You should also consider how you might notify a caller when they become
eligible to speak.

> Is this a reasonable amount of calls to handle with meetme?¿?

That depends on many factors: CPU power; whether the calls come in via
a quad-E1 card or VoIP; for VoIP, what codec is used; etc.
