We have a dedicated product line for VRS /VRI based on Asterisk.
Nice! It might be something that we are looking for...

Hello,
Asterisk chan H.323 does not support video calls. It could be added or
you need to have some H323 to SIP gateway.
What is recommended H323 to SIP gateway? Is that only for call signaling
only? What about RTP? Is media (i.e. voice/video codecs) done at
endpoints only? (i.e. not having to go through the gateway which will
surely overload the server with some number of ongoing sessions.)

Yes with some tricky dialaplan and a modified version of app_confernce.
Nice, as long it works :) We also like to set up conf call time to time.
(Both voice and video).

Yes
Great!

Yes. One can define a cascade of queue
Learning some new words as I am new to telephony system :)

Yes using an external reporting app.
Nice as I am sure all of the data is being stored in database such
as MySQL.

No, We have a solution where the agent has a sigle workstation and our
server do the audio / video mixing on the three legs.
Hmm, interesting... as long it works, fine with us :)

Definitly, but not the "official" version. We have a modified one. The
only issue with your project is handling H.323. But again, H.323 video
support can be added.
So the SIP video is fully supported right now and only thing needs to
be added is H.323 video which seems not a big deal, correct?
