Actually, I was surprised about the h323 troubles. As you might know,
there are two asterisk h323 channel modules, one included in the
package, the other developed by inaccess networks. Regarding the former,
it simply doesn't work with the latest cvs (where the the latest cvs is
recommended to new users), and the latter works ok but doesn't support
video.

Also, to add from my side to seeming impoliteness, the responses I
received on asterisk irc and mailing list on h323 issues were scarce
and not very encouraging. This compared to other projects I've been
seeking help on :)
