David,

I've not kept tabs on that, but we do have a module that will probably go
in based on ooh323 that is more maintained.  Sorry about the moderator on
the dev list, I didn't get a notification about it, That list isn't very
active currently, I did approve your email to this list.

I would say neither of those modules would be something I would use in
production at this time, They are not well maintained.

/b
