It could be usefull - in this occasion or another - to test 
interoperability too.
I'm thinking to commercial and accademic SIP system like the various set 
top box for videoconferencing - now almost all based on open standards 
like SIP and H.323 - or network based MCU like the ones available in the 
inter-universitary and research netoworks (I'm referring to the italian 
GARR [1] or the Caltech EVO [2]).
