</div>Sorry, have nothing to say of 11.5 but OOH323 works great in 1.8. I use<br>
it as an Avaya IP Office trunk. No problems.<br>
<br>
As you observed for yourself when you researched the topic there is not<br>
a lot of help available, and Asterisk team prefers to make everybody<br>
think that SIP is the only viable call setup protocol around. They kind<br>
of not talking a lot about their own IAX any more.<br>
<br>
The official H.323 is abandoned. OOH323 is being supported by a very<br>
capable and responsive guy. He does not frequent the user list as he<br>
subscribes to the developer list, so I normally transfer the help<br>
inquiries to him if there is no traction here.<br>
