I installed the oh323 myself. I was just wondering if it was done on
purpose. I installed asterisk from the source, and your are right i had
neither the openh323 nor the pwlib library installed.
Apparently it was not done on purpose.
However, if i asked the question it is because i always thought that H323
was more robust and much better than SIP. But since i joined the * world, it
looks like I was wrong and that new development are going towards SIP rather
than H323.

Correct me if I am wrong.
