I think there is one.

Netmeeting doesn't use exactly the same codecs as gnomemeeting. Polycom
problems have been reported here and there with certain model on this
mailing list without having been fixed.

However, I know some models work. And I also remember a mail on one of
the openh323 mailing lists (either on www.openh323.org or
openh323.sf.net) with a possible fix to H.261 in openh323. 
The patch was not applied to CVS iirc, and it was a mail from last month
or this month. I can't find it at the moment, but Derek (in CC) should
remember if there was a following to the proposed patches.
