This is my concern too. I would like the developers to make it easier to for us users to install H323 with new kernels >= 2.4.17. I spent a great deal of time with patching and ran into all sorts of problems. I finally got it to work with 2.4.16 but it was completely frustrating. Please improve this for us.
