G'Day Ami and Tom,

There has been some initial disucssion in the 3rd generation mobile
projects (ie.UMTS) regarding the usage of H.324 therefore I think its
too early to preclude H.324 from MEGACOP discussion. So I think
that it should definately be supported in the scope of MEGACOP.

Cheers, Christian
