Re: H.323

Hi,

The H.323 voice on IP protocol is evaluated in our area (Sophia-Antipolis)
by a site called ETSI.

They have a private network (from France to US) used for evaluation (people
from Vocaltec, Microsoft, White Pine, ... comes at this occasion) &
compatibility checks and they should know all about this protocol.

I have no name to give you for information, but you maybe will find info on
their site :
