Ed,

Great point. This is very common unless the system has a conference room application built in

Another great way of doing it is the Konf-tel 50 device. It plugs into the ESI phone, similiar to a headset does. You can then make the call with the ESI phone, power on the konf-tel and sit the handset down and have a great conference call. Much more inexpensive than a polycom ip series and definitely more convenient than adding an analog card if not ports are available
