We have several people in our church that recently became
disabled. I am
thinking of setting up an asterisk server and several phone
lined so
that they can call in to church during services to listen to the
service.
If it were me, I would:
1. create a conference room
2. create a .call file that dials into the speaker system
3. create .call files to dial the participants, muting them
This can obviously be scripted very easily. A simple cron job
copying the .call files should do nicely. If the disabled persons
wish to no longer participate, you can simply delete that .call
file; conversely, if you need to add someone, you can just create
another one. Then you won't have to worry about incoming phone
numbers and coordinating with the private school, you can bring it
in when you need it, etc.
That does simplify it a bit - but is probably not flexible enough. I
don't want to have to have someone call and request to be added to
the conference if they are sick sunday morning. We will publish the
number for anyone in the congregation to use as they need it. For
those that always listen at home tho this would work fine.
Oh and we will also want to record the services so that if someone
wants a copy or to listen later they can call in to listen or we can
burn then a copy. So I'll need to program a recording menu system
that is somewhat automated and lists the last few weeks of services
by date or something.
We are currently using freeconferencecall.com but it is a long
distance call from church and from all of our members.
Use GotoIfTime to divert incoming calls, only during regular service
times, to a voice menu with a choice of listen live, or make a call to
extension.
Use David's call file suggestion to connect the speakers to the
conference and record (Monitor) that channel.
Have an extension that callers can dial at anytime for a voice menu
with a choice of recordings.

Drew
Good suggestions everyone, thanks.
