You are right that I put the wrong question. I guess it's more important 
to know which of the 2 protocols is best implemented or finished.

I won't be (able to) doing any debugging, but I could try several 
protocols. I checked the wiki and there are several issues for both 
protocols. The oh323 protocol is tested with several types/brands of 
equipment, on the SCCP onlt a problem with one particular phone is listed 
(does that mean that most other pieces of equipment that speak SCCP simply 
work)?

If the implementation of SCCP is pretty much finished and stable I will 
opt for that as a lot more of the practical features are supported on the 
SCCP model.

Is SCCP used widely with * ?

Thanks!!
