I cannot find it in the docs but if it does along with all the other features, it looks pretty hot.  I think I am going to dive into this.  "VMukti's complete focus is on placing the users and customers in control by abolishing the artificial restrictions imposed by vendors. Deploy VMukti On-Demand or On-Site. Use VMukti Open Source Edition for free or pay for the commercial editions. Create modules that can be collaborative or non-collaborative. With commercial open source, users are in charge."  What are the core features of the Vmukti?  Nice feature set!  Core features of Vmukti collaborative conferencing engine are:  -Video conferencing, - Audio conferencing, - Chat, - Online File search, - Online whiteboard, - Online File-sharing, - Online Presentation, - Online Co-authoring, - Scheduling, - Remote monitoring, - Remote controlling, - Remote Desktop sharing, - CRM and - Online Reports  At present VMukti supports following features:  -Video conferencing, -Audio conferencing, -Chat, -Online File search, -Online File sharing, -Online Whiteboard, -Online Presentation, -Online Co-authoring, -Scheduling  Thanks, Steve Totaro  On Sun, May 18, 2008 at 11:26 AM, SIP <sip@arcdiv.com> wrote:   

When I think voice conferencing, I think multipoint voice conferencing (more than two participants). But apparently, dual-point conferencing is what everyone was replying about.  Which is, as you say, out of the box and pretty simple.  N.    Miles Scruggs wrote:     

I'm a little confused, when someone says voice conference usually it is implied that there are more than 2 people in the conference.  Was the original person asking about actual conferencing or just simple calling (which asterisk does out of the box), which seems to be what everyone is replying to.
