Indeed, GnomeMeeting doesn't permit to change the bandwidth requested to
the gatekeeper, it is using the default value of openh323 which is 100
000.

You can change that by adding "SetInitialBandwidth (your_value)" in the
Init method of the class defined in endpoint.cpp, in GnomeMeeting and
recompile.

It is in units of 100bps, so the default value is 10Mbps which sounds
reasonable for a LAN.
