I believe most of the concern about having T.120 "mandated" in H.323
terminals (e.g., in the context of T.130) has been with regard to very
lightweight terminals, such as simple standalone phones. I believe, though,
that an H.323 device capable of T.140 text chatting, with a keyboard and
display, is quite likely to have the resources to run T.120 as well. By the
time you deal with all the protocol issues involved in making T.140 work
reliably (particularly multipoint) directly on a TCP or UDP connection,
you've practically recreated T.120 anyway, so you might as well use the data
conferencing standard we've spent so much time creating and deploying.
Therefore, Microsoft is in favor of standardizing T.140 over H.323 only
within the context of T.120, and not directly on a simple IP connection.
