Actually, my interest is only in the privacy/security aspects. I have
no interest (yet) in video-conferencing or telephony, which seems to
be where H.323 is used.

I have, on several occasions, had an individual app-aware firewall
report that some pgm is trying to access the net. This has been
helpful in detecting call-home junk that may have ended up on my comp.
This junk sometimes comes with commercial pgms, too.

Sine there doesn't seem to be a linux app-aware firewall, I was
interested in a centralized solution. The key is that the firewall has
to know about EVERY possible access, even from pgms that try to hide
their call home. Highly unlikely they would use H.323. :-))
