Dan - as a thought - I am messing with a H323 'capable' IP Phone and I
am (maybe foolishly) trying to use ooh323 with no gateway, gatekeeper,
or anything else and I am not getting it to work too well.  It seems
'sometimes' it does work.

Is there any way - as far as you (or anyone else) knows that this will
work with any flavor of H323 on Asterisk?  I could just be messing up
the configs.
