http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_h323 is software --- there are a lot of comparisons of SIP and H323, http://www.packetizer.com/ipmc/h323_vs_sip/ presents itself as their king.

http://www.h323.net/ "offer individuals free accounts..." so you can associate a h323: URL with your device, I guess. Routing between h323 and the PSTN is another story; I don't know what voip orivders like broadvoice * http://tinyurl.com/478ju6z* support h323 devices instead of SIP devices. The CODECs are independent of the signalling; it seems like H323 support would be a Really Cool Part of a club voip project that nobody actually has the time to set up.

The h323.net people have a forum; I'd check there.

I thought about getting one of these. I don't need it, but I thought it would be cool to mess with. Does anyone know of a free service that would route one or two VoIP phones? I imagine it would work with Skype, but is there a way to get it to work with Google Voice and get an outside number? Would you have to set up an Asterisk server?

Item uses H.323 protocol

• Works with Gatekeepers and Gateways
• Enable P2P (Peer-to-peer) connections without Gatekeepers and

Gateways

• *Dialing Method:*
• Phone to phone
• Address translated via H.323 Gatekeeper

It's been a while since I thought about VoIP, and all I could remember was the Asterisk (Asterix) server as a possiblity.
