Meetme() is the way to go. Running it on a virtual machine might not be such a good idea bacause dahdi_dummy, needed for Meetme() might not run. Google on "Meetme() cmd asterisk" and check the parameters available. There is one for "listen only mode".
Don't forget to add a conference room to /etc/asterisk/meetme.conf All you need is a did from a sip dial tone provider with enough incoming lines, a straight asterisk install with dadhi_dummy loading, enough bandwidth for the connections (85 kbs per line) and a handfull of lines in /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf Make sure you use ulaw with the connection to you sip dialtone provider otherwise the asterisk server has to transcode all the channels from ulaw (used by Meetme() ) to whatever codec is used.
