RE: msn voice chat

Yes and no.  Yes it does use that and a helper module might work, but
it's entirely too much (it uses a lot of things, not just SIP).  What it
does use however, is Universal Plug N Play.  And EVERY single feature of
Windows and MSN Messenger uses UPnP, except the phone call thing.
Voice/Video, Remote Assistance, File Transfer (MSN 5.0 and up) and
whiteboard, all the others work with a UPnP IGD.  I'm actually the
author, and started this trying to make a helper module, but this was
actually the more correct way to deal with it.

As far as I'm concerned, MSN telephony, and voice chat, uses SIP, not 
h.323, and SIP also needs a helper module the same way as pptp, ftp, 
irc etc
