, the Asterisk Meetme Conference Manager
This is the development site for ,
an AJAX/Comet interface to the
Asterisk system, that provides a
web interface to meetme
audio conferences. It's still under
development, but feel free to try it out and send me comments stephen.uhler@sun.com.

are not displayed).

Here are some random notes
- It only works with firefox/mozilla (firefox 1.0.6 or newer)
Firefox 1.0.6 was released on 19July05, so even that is a pretty
old version.
- It requires browser cookies
- Each browser window or tab acts like a separate user, with a
separate set of credentials.
- The accounts are persistent, so even when the server crashes or
I restart it, your account should remain
- There is lots of debugging output, which slows it down alot
- When the web system crashes, it doesn't affect the conference in any way.
- Firefox appears to limit the number of simultaneous background (e.g. AJAX) fetches
to two. If you are logged in as different users on different windows, your response
might be slow.
- Known bugs
