Amen to that. I noticed that right after giving this "expert advise",
the author mentions that "Even Microsoft is still locked inside its
firewall, which doesn't support T.120 and H.323 yet." Hello! Anybody
home? 

I would think that any reasonably intelligent person would look at this
and say," Humm, Microsoft made it, but won't let it through their
firewall. I suppose there's a good reason for that."

Oh well, these are the same folks who will be paying a *huge* invoice
for consulting work, once someone trashes their systems, so I guess I
should be thankful. :-).
