Well, that isn't exactly the application.  What I'm trying to do
is have all the devices conference themselves into each other so
that someones voice that gets picked up on any of them will be
broadcast to all the others.  This is going to be a closed call.
All the devices will be in the same building, and won't need to
connect to anything in outside world.  I'm trying to get as close
as I can to 100% coverage of the square footage of the building,
so with that, I figure there's going to be some coverage overlap.
I was hoping someone on this list knew of some slick SW that might
be able to manage the resulting echo (or any of the other problems I
mentioned in my first post that I thought I might have to worry about).

It may not be possible, so I may have to drop it like so many other
boneheaded ideas I've had over my lifetime, but I thought it was
worth a try.  Some guys just never learn, eh?  :-)
