There is another way of making multiuser conference calls: Our line
has call waiting, three-way calling, forwarding, and speed dialing.
If you call someone and three-way call someone else with Totalfone,
they can call someone ... the only thing about this is, one time
someone had an emergency interrupt.  You should have heard the
operator trying to yell over all of us!  Then they sorted through what
was going on and gave specific instructions, i.e.  xxx-1234, release
your line, then xxx-3253 will release thiers, then <blah blah blah> ... 
it was funny...
