As a former Videoconferencing guy who works with Packeteers Packetshapers, it felt right up my street so to speak. What the Packetshaper "should" have been able to do is give you the 758k bandwidth and prioritise your traffic over say web traffic. In effect it could give give you two virtual "pipes" one with 768 that only held H.323 and another where everything else went down. Depends of course how they set it up. But a Packetshaper should help a VC call. Of course what has most likely happened is that the University has set a bunch of rules up to prioritise traffic and the H.323 is going into the "other" pipe and getting crunched in with anything els ethat has not been classified. :( Anyway... just my two cents.
