First of all, 500 ekiga net is an answering machine which will mirror 
your audio and video to you after a voice will have explained what it does.

Then ekiga has no builtin special support for conferences : you have to 
join some server, which will receive data from participants, and send 
back the mix. Notice that this is probably what skype does behind the scene.

The problem with this approach is that it requires a server with a very 
good bandwith ; something that the ekiga project can't afford, 
especially for all its users.

If you have a big bandwith, you could be the server for your parents and 
yourself...
