Hi,

Just to introduce myself :o)  I learnt at Supelec, Metz, France, which 
collaborates with GeorgiaTech...

Now, glad to hear that you are interested on H.239 support.  But I do 
not know anything about it.  I think it is better to ask the same 
questions to voip people: opalvoip-user 
<opalvoip-user lists sourceforge net>.  If it is really supported, then 
including its support on ekiga should indeed by simple.

Cheers,
