2. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one second endpoint comprises a plurality of second endpoints and wherein transmitting the converted received second endpoint data to the first endpoint comprises mixing the converted received second endpoint data from each of the plurality of second endpoints into a single transmission and transmitting the single transmission to the first endpoint.
1. A conferencing method comprising: receiving first endpoint data for a first conference type from a first endpoint; determining whether at least one second endpoint is participating in a conference with the first endpoint; determining a second conference type for transmitting the received first endpoint data to the at least one second endpoint, the determining the second conference type comprising reading a second conference type identifier from a memory, the second conference type identifier specifying the second conference type for the at least one second endpoint participating in the conference with the first endpoint; determining whether the second conference type is different than the first conference type; selecting a conversion program based on whether the second conference type is different than the first conference type, the conversion program converting the received first endpoint data to second endpoint data that is compatible with the second conference type; reading a first endpoint identifier for the first endpoint; transmitting the converted received first endpoint data to the at least one second endpoint, the transmitted data comprising the first endpoint identifier for the first endpoint; receiving second endpoint data from the at least one second endpoint; the conversion program converting the received second endpoint data to first endpoint data that is compatible with the first conference type; reading a second endpoint identifier for the at least one second endpoint; and transmitting the converted received second endpoint data to the first endpoint, the transmitted second endpoint data comprising the second endpoint identifier for the at least one second endpoint; and wherein the conversion program converting the received second endpoint data to the first endpoint data that is compatible with the first conference type comprises the conversion program utilizing a conversion parameter if the first conference type is a voice conference and the second conference type is a text messaging conference; and wherein the conversion parameter comprises predetermined voice attributes based on the second endpoint identifier of the at least one second endpoint that are independent of a voice of a user of the at least one second endpoint; and wherein the conversion program converting the received first endpoint data to the second endpoint data that is compatible with the second conference type comprises the conversion program utilizing aiding data if the second conference type is a text messaging conference and the first conference type is a voice conference; and wherein the aiding data comprises a model of stored voice data for a user of the first endpoint.
