That is correct. That's the problem we are looking at.

With regular H.245 capability exchange and the use of OLCs, both sides will
know the actual capabilities. Version 2 devices should then only send an
OLC with a version that it knows the remote side can accept.
We potentially have this same problem with SIP and other SDP-based systems.
They must change the version number in the "answer" to an "offer".

The problem has to do with sending a Fast Connect proposal (channel
proposal) for T.38v2 (2002 syntax) to a version 0 device (1998) syntax and
that device accepting the proposal and, subsequently, sending 2002-encoded
IFP packets. The version 0 device cannot decode the IFP packets.
In short, there is a potential for sending the wrong ASN.1 PER encoded
messages.
