Thought I should point out that this is personal, but not private -
anyone can join as long as they can guess where 'you are at' (ie. the
number XXXX you used).

If you want 'private' then you will have to:

1) Have one of your group use a softphone or hardphone which can ad-hoc
conference (such as the cisco 79xx series) which can join two SIP calls
and do the mixing itself. Some softphones support this....

2) Use another (paid for?) SIP Conference server on the internet which
supports logins/pins.

3) Set up and configure Asterisk to provide the service yourself (or one
of your 'buddies')

Have fun,
Simon.
