Netmeeting connection limitation

We occasionally have conference calls which require NetMeeting. Currently, the 'host' machine/setup will only allow 20 (or so) people to join. All others have to call one of the other 19 people and connect to them.

I've looked at NetMeeting refernces but I can't find where the limitation occurs.

Is there a way around this?

P.S. A lot of the time there are only a couple people directly connected to a LAN - the rest are VPN'ed so they can't be 'hosts'.
 
Either 2K or XP. Both have the same limitiations.
 

Spence602's workaround (have the top level provider ask a secondary provider to make the additional connections) is the only valid workaround for the issue.

There is not a clean registry edit to allow the top level provider of Net Meeting to increase the number of connected sites.
