i got a connexant chipset pci card from ebay, it works fairly well, (not
got my 1mb yet, will find out tonight)

the linux driver uses a binary HAL, i have had oops's with it if the
driver module is unloaded and loaded in quick succession. (although this
was with kernel 2.4.18)

im now running 2.4.26 on the machine in question but thus far have not
been using the card,

when I get home (assuming my line is activated .. i moved house) I'll
send you what lspci says it is.

gnome-meeting uses h323 but doesnt do the daft random port trickery and
thus is easy to use with NAPT.
