I would say that to start you should take a read through the old and new 
handbooks, and then keep them handy for reference when you start playing..

The names of the .conf files are hard coded but I am sure if you were 
desperate enough you could edit the source code and change them..

I would suggest that you install Asterisk and start it in the default 
config.. then play with the .conf files that are provided to get your 
head around it.. take it a step at a time.. if you try to understand it 
all at once you are in for a hard time.. I have been using it for about 
6 months now and I am still learning better or more efficient ways to do 
things..

The reason there is no h323.conf is becasue H.323 support is not 
compiled by default during installation.. you have to add it manually 
afterwards(and after you have met the additional pre-req's)..

Good luck with your playing.. :)
