sorry I don't have an answer for you Mike, I'm
actually in the same boat so to speak. I work for a
law firm and we occationaly need to conference w/
other sites outside our network but haven't enough
faith in the internet due to the lack of QoS. Do you
have any problems when you connect H.323 calls over
the internet?
