+asterisk-h323 vs. asterisk-oh323 vs. asterisk-ooh323c
+=====================================================
+
+  There are currently three implementations for H.323 in the Asterisk PBX:
+  chan_h323, chan_oh323 and chan_ooh323c. They are distributed by Debian as
+  asterisk-h323, asterisk-oh323 and asterisk-oh323c, respectively.
+
+  chan_h323 is the official one, i.e. the one included in the Asterisk
+  distribution by Digium, Inc. It is a fork of an earlier version of
+  chan_oh323, but they are quite different nowdays. Unfortunately they
+  don't use the same configuration file anymore.
+
+  In the 1.4 release cycle, another H.323 channel driver was contributed by
+  Objective Systems, Inc. called chan_ooh323c. It was made from scratch and,
+  unlike the other two, does not use the OpenH323 library; it also has a
+  totally different configuration file.
+  It is part of the asterisk-addons package, distributed by Digium, Inc.
+
+  You have to use a different configuration file for each of the channel
+  drivers. All of them can happily coexist, as long as you run them on a
+  different port or disable their loading in modules.conf and being careful
+  of autoload=yes.
