Thanks the your help, I'm getting closer.  Using a netmeeting client
registered with the gatekeeper I am now able to call a netmeeting endpoint
through asterisk.  When I answer the I see a connection in netmeeting
between the endpoint name and the h323.id of asterisk, however there is no
connection on the calling end.  The same thing happens when I originate the
call from the asterisk connected endpoint.  Here is what I have.

in extensions.conf
exten => 7311100,1,Dial,H323/(ip address of * connected netmeeting client)
exten => _730XXXX,1,Dial,H323/${EXTEN} ; route 730 prefix to the gatekeeper

in h323.conf
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
gatekeeper = (ip address of the gatekeeper)
AllowGKRouted = yes
context=default

[test]
type=h323
prefix=731
