Using a MAC address as the Alias

[frank.derks at philips.com]

Paul,

it's good to know that I am not the only person that considers the use of a 
MAC address as an "alias" as being useful. It therefore strikes me as being
somewhat odd that this is not included in the massive amount of options that
H.323 already has. Any ideas why this was never included?

Frank

Frank,

Yes, I have, and there are very valid cases for doing this.
