Hello, I just downloaded and installed the latest version of asterisk under Fedora. (had it under FreeBSD but was having TOOO many problems) After my installation i noticed that the channel H323 was not included ( I remember that i did not have to install it under freeBSD) but I have seen that SIP and IAX are supported though. So i am wondering: Does asterisk consider H323 so achaic that it does not bother including it anymore? According to you specialists, are we looking at the end of H323? or maybe i just did not install asterisk properly :-).

Check: http://www.inaccessnetworks.com/projects/asterisk-oh323 for the latest code.> > Thanks >Michael.

Please, don't thak this as an insult, but you need to qualify that your background obviously doesn't include any carrier-class bulk VoIP termination whatsoever when you make broad statement like that. Millions and milions of minutes of voice and fax traffic each day are carried over h.323, for end users that don't even know they are using VoIP, and in most cases don't even know what VoIP is. Minutes handled by bold "old" and new companies. Now if you wanted to say that it's not in vogue for soft PBXen and key systems to support h.323, I'll buy that. But I'm going to guess that voice traffic over SIP is a mere fraction of voice traffic over h.323 on any given day. Daryl Jurbala
