Voice/video conferencing with iptables?

[Mirko Froehlich]

Kevin,

So far, I have been unable to get Netmeeting working through iptables with
ip-masquerading. I used to run ipchains and a h323 module, and Netmeeting
worked great (at least outbound, but with a few port forwardings it should
have worked inbound too). A module for iptables does not exist yet, and
without any special rules Netmeetings does not work. I can establish
connections and transmit both audio and video, but I cannot receive either.
I have tried the opengate h323 proxy (search on Sourceforge) which should
provide a solution, but I have not been able to get this working either.
Let me know if you discover anything else. :-)
