I am hoping to tap from the invaluable knowledge source of this list, and would appreciate any leads some one could provide me with. I am in need of a conference bridge or similar device for an information provider service that will allow me to do the following. Given about 32 simultaneous callers, I would like to dynamically select between who speaks to who, and allow multiple people to converse at the same time. Dynamically reconfigurable so that ideally it could be one big 32 caller conference or, while all callers are still online, be reconfigured for as many as 16 two party conversations, or any configuration inbetween. Ideally this would also be PC based, and hopefully easily interfaceable to call processing boards by Natural MicroSystems, Dialogic, or others. The ideal system would be as described above, but if I have to make compromises in the system design, I will. I currently am contemplating utilizing the Dialogic AMX81 to allow for only one on one conversations, if I can't find something better. The number of simultaneous callers is flexible, hopefully expandable from 4 to 32 or so. Thank you in advance for any info you may be able to provide. Jayson jraymond@bbn.com
