[cisco-voip] Conference bridge How to in CCM 6.x???

[Matthew Saskin]

Things haven't changed, that's about your only option.
MeetMe bridges can only be started from an IP phone, but once up are 
reachable (provided you have a route path in place) from the PSTN.

If you need true conferencing, then you need an external product a la 
meetingplace or others out there.
