ConneXtions is a 3Com software product that allows you to use an
appropriately configured Windows system as an H.323 gateway for use
with NBX systems.
H.323 gateways implement an ITU standard that allows telephone-like
call connections to occur through an IP network. Although this standard
addresses the means for transferring data, voice, and images, the NBX
ConneXtions H.323 Gateway focuses on delivering low-cost, high-quality,
voice connections through IP networks.
