Well, this  is not completely correct anymore.  Cisco's CBAC Firewall
Feature Set (and possibly other "stateful" or "dynamic" filters) does do
dynamic state tables and access-lists that allow h.323 sessions that are
established from internal users to come back through the firewall.  This
makes it so that there is a block on the external users (via acl)from using
the ports or establishing a session, and when the session is started only
the IPs that were initiated from inside are allowed back through.  

There are currently no stateful/dynamic inspections of t.120 however (by any
vendor that I am aware of), thus my question.
