Pierre-Marie,

I ran into a problem just last year when trying to make an ISDN BRI
videoconference call in the U.S.  We had 64kbps B-channels from our local
telco (GTE), but we couldn't get a "bonded" call to connect over a long
distance call, even though we knew that the "receiving end" also had 64kbps
B-channels.  It turns out that AT&T was transporting the long distance
call, and they _still have_ 56kbps "choke points" in their long distance
network, which show up on some calls (not all)!  So, to get the call to
connect, we had to drop back to 56kbps B-channel speed when we initiated
the call.
