Hello Equivalence,

I am the co-maintainer of the Linux IP Masquerading WWW site 
IP-MASQ HOWTO, author of TrinityOS for Linux, and strong
poster on the Linux IP MASQ email list:  

  MASQ WWW:             http://ipmasq.cjb.net/

I was forwarded your URL and I first wanted to thank you for 
porting your work to Linux!

Anywa, As I'm sure your WELL aware, the H.323 protocol is a 
VERY difficult one to master but it looks like your company is
doing quite well.  I have a few questions here:

        - Most Linux IP Masquerade users are concerned with security
          and usually use strong packet firewall rulesets.  Since
          PhonePatch runs in parallel to IP MASQ, what issues will
          Linux users see that FILTER their Internet traffic.  From
          my understanding, the kernel IPFWADM/IPCHAINS rulesets will
          block specified traffic before PhonePatch ever sees the
          traffic.  True?

          If so, what ports are required to be allowed in to let
          PhonePatch work?

          Any plans to add a feature to announce what ports are required 
          for a given H.323 conversation through the firewall?  This would
          allow Linux users to modify their firewall rulesets on the fly
          to both maintain H.323 functionality while keeping security up.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
