Franck Martin's general tips on conferencing:

Did you know you can use skype to call for free the USA free toll number provided?
Mute your microphone always until you speak. Kids come around, partners are naughty, or simply coughing or breathing is heard by all...
To mute: if you use the phone, *6 to mute #6 to un-mute, or simply use the mute button on skype, marratech, audio card, etc...
Join the conf call 10-15mn before it starts, it helps you figure out the technology and do some audio tests (can you hear me? oohhh my sound is muted!)
It is important that the chair regulates the talks, especially the ones on the conf calls. Wait for a blank to ask to speak, let people finish they talk.
Have a piece of paper, or a computer editor to note your questions and comments.
Find the chat room, there is always a chat room with most of the participants, so you can ask to speak, or give feedback on the sound quality to the operators.
Download the presentations, agenda before hand..
More you do conf calls, more you learn about the etiquette, so join ISOC conf calls
