There are currently a number of options for h323 support:

- The original chan_h323 . Works only with HEAD. Requires some specific
  version of openh323 and pwlib

- chan_oh323 . There is a certain version that works with Stable (and it
  should be availble in Debian debs). Another one in HEAD. Requires
  it's own specific version of the monster (openh323 and pwlib, IIRC)

- chan_ooh323c . A new h323 stack. Does not require the monster. However
  it is probably the least tested of all options

- chan_woomra: an attempt to hide the monster. Still requires openh323
  and pwlib and something called opal on top of it, but all asterisk
  sees is a simple wrapper that talkes to that server through a
  pipe/socket. Should work with both HEAD and stable.
