For SIP based coms I am not aware of any (free) multichannel conference 
tools. However if you are using the h323 protocol to communicate there 
is a little known tool called openmcu that is available as standard for 
install on a debian machine. H323 is a complex protocol (which is why 
everyone is moving to sip), however I have tested this and managed to 
set up a 4 way conversation / video link all be it within a single LAN 
segment (that is no firewalls routers etc ... etc...)

Please also note (I am being honest here) that openmcu was a "proof of 
principal" and has not been developed much in recent times.
