[cisco-voip] Video Conferencing ? CM 4.1(3)

Honestly, I've got no idea.

I run H.323 loads against a gatekeeper for my video conf units.  For 
outside world connectivity we run our own IP bridge (Codian).  In 
addition, the Codian ties desktop conferencing (via VTA/webcams) to our 
conference rooms.  We don't directly do any ISDN/PRI connectivity to the 
outside - for the two times it's been needed we've used 3rd party 
services that to IP -> ISDN bridging for us.
