However if you are using the h323 protocol to communicate there is a little known tool called openmcu that is available as standard for install on a debian machine. H323 is a complex protocol (which is why everyone is moving to sip), however I have tested this and managed to set up a 4 way conversation / video link all be it within a single LAN segment (that is no firewalls routers etc ... etc...)
Please also note (I am being honest here) that openmcu was a "proof of principal" and has not been developed much in recent times.
