Has anyone experience with (or an educated guess of) the largest paging
group that can be supported by the Page() command?

We have an installation coming up with 110 phones -- any hope to page
this entire facility?

I have done a page with at least a hundred phones before. It took
about a full second for the mysql script to run and all the phones to
join the conference, but worked fine. We typically only page 60
phones at once. In the coming months, I will be attempting a page
with 250 phones.

I can confirm that. 110 phones should not be a problem. We've done paging groups at that size. The only noticeable issue is the delay. When the initiator starts to speak, there may be up to a 1 second delay for all the phones to receive the audio. However, you probably wouldn't notice that unless you had all the phones in a single room for testing... In production with one phone in each room in scattered locations, it should not be an issue.
