[Asterisk-Users] Two asterisks on one machine

[vivek at staff.ownmail.com]

Hi friend,
  I am running asterisk in production and it is being used by many people using h323. I cannot afford to change all their configurations. Also, the newer asterisk dosenot support inband for h323 properly. Thats why I want two asterisks one for backward compatibility and one for sip which I want to implement.




With warm regards.
