[cisco-voip] Meet-Me Conference from non sccp device

[Wes Sisk]

Scott,

Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and is not indicative of company 
position. It comes with no warranty or obligation.

I'm probably more of a conspiracy theorist than the next guy.  But I see 
no such security implication or interpretation by anyone.  What I have 
observed is that this is a very unique supplementary service.  To that 
end there is not standard provision in most protocols for such a 
feature.  Could it be hacked up some way? Possibly.  But who really 
wants to use an archane interface that requires memorizing arbitrary 
DTMF sequences?  No, there should be better ways.  And there are - 
meetingplace and webex.  These offer sufficient features to justify a 
little complexity at initialization.  I cannot count the number of 
meetings where I have muted participants for wind noise, background 
chatter, darth-vader-heavy-breathers, crying-babies-in-the-background, 
and even the occasional smacking or slurping of meals.  These are all 
part of life but sharing them with all meeting participants certainly 
detracts from the meeting itself.  This is all my personal opinion.

On the other hand if several organizations made sufficient business case 
I bet product marketing would entertain a discussion.
