Using Asterisk as a conference bridge is much simpler than using it as a voicemail system because it does not require you to integrate OpenSER and Asterisk's database tables. No views, no trickery, and no editing the source code.
In OpenSER, add an account for asterisk. Then, set Asterisk up to register to that account. There won't need to be any route modifications because Asterisk will just be another number for users to call. Unfortunately, most of what I found online seemed to be multiple pieces that I just happened to put together.
Be sure to fill in all username, password, and other settings with your details.

Here is an output of what I found online:

Unfortunately, it is pretty hard to determine what is happening with this project. More information about app_cbmysql and the web-meetme gui can be found here:
