[kwlug-disc] OT: conference call using voip.ms & FXS

[unsolicited]

Anything on the voip.ms wiki?

I suspect your example worked regardless of hardware - it might be 
sending to voip.ms to join the channels, not your device itself joining 
the channels. If true, there may be nothing preventing the fourth party 
being added in.

Wouldn't the additional caller alert you via call waiting, at which 
point you could flash / join / conference?

Softphone? (May have more capabilities in the area.) Your ata could call 
the softphone to join in. (Assumes you have set everything on voip.ms to 
be an extension - a recommended practice.)
