Meet-me is a generic term, came about some time in the 70's. I think the first use was in hospitals, where people would be paged on a beeper. The operator would park the call, page the doctor, and he/she would then call a number that would "meet" an incoming call.

Just a trivial question: was the term "Meetme" invented for Asterisk as something like a brand name for its conferencing? Or was it an existing generic term for dial-in conferencing?
