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.

Thanks,
Robert
