Very impressive and I'd love to know more about the architecture.

(I'm assuming this is the NASCAR project you refer to on your web site.)

) Can fans "jump" from car to car by entering the car number?

) Did you limit callers to "over 18" or did you have the ability to 
"censor" a driver if needed?

) How did you distribute callers and audio between hosts?

) How many hosts and what kind of horsepower/hardware?

I think the OP was questioning the stability of app_conference, not 
app_meetme.

Thanks in advance,
