Participants on a conference call are managed by terminating incoming
calls at a conference bridge and storing a record for each call entering the conference
call, each record including identification of the caller and a corresponding port
number of the conference bridge assigned to the call. A list of all callers currently
connected to the conference call is maintained. Upon receiving a request from an
administrative host of the conference call, the list of current conference call
participants is communicated to the host. Upon receipt of a disconnect request
from the host identifying a first record associated with a first conference call
participant to be disconnected, the first record a corresponding first port number
is located, and the call associated with the first port number is disconnected.
