Dick, I havn't played with OpenH323 but over the last month have been playing about with SIP VOIP gateways on SME V6. I have setup Asterisk ( a full blown pabx) and SER (SIP Express Router). Asterisk worked well as a SIP gateway but is a nightmare to provision services. This would be good stand alone PABX with maybe SME as the base. SER was easy to install and has a web interface to provision users and services. It also has the ability to use a simple version of Jabber to provide Instant Messaging and presence. One of the problems I was having was connecting to or having users connect to the gateway from behind NAT. Unfortunately work got in the way and I have stopped developing this any further until after xmas.

I've always set up gatekeepers up on "internal" machines with Procomm VoIP phones looking to that as its gatekeeper. I'd love to have OpenH323 as a core package on GPL releases of SME. It's not that hard to do but it can be unreliable sometimes. Has anyone else ever played with this before ? It's saved me a lot of money in the past and it's proved to be something that allowed me to work easier and more sensibly as a startup company. The quality as well with cable/dsl users was more than adequate. Any help and advice about compiled rpm's that work happily on SME gratefully appreciated. We're all here to learn and I have $1500 of unused VoIP handsets upstairs that I would love to use properly.
