[Ekiga-devel-list] Basic IPv6 support for H.323 calls

[Arseniy Lartsev <receive-spam yandex ru>]

Hello,

I tried to implement IPv6 support for H.323 calls so that people with
IPv6 could talk directly to each other over Internet.

There seems to be be an easy way to do it, patches follow. Calls to
h323:ipv6.host.name or h323:[ip:v6:address] seem to work (tested it only
on Linux so far). It does not seem to affect IPv4 connectivity (direct
calls over LAN continue to work as usual).

What about adding this kind of functionality to Ekiga (maybe also
for direct SIP calls)?
