Ok, I understand what you're saying but I don't think you can make it a
blanket statement.  Some routers can do h.323.  My Nexland, for
instance.  And I think Linksys also.  All I have to do is open up a few
ports that I tell gnugk to use and it just works.  Come to think of it,
I'm not sure that a h.323 aware router is even necessary with gnugk
since pretty much all the ports can be specified in gnugk.ini.  After it
gets past TCP 1720, all the other ports are negotiated.  As I recall...
