[Freeswitch-users] mod_H.323, working stable ?

[Serge S. Yuriev]

Hi,

About five or six years ago I have to use YATE as proto converter and 
after some time (patched) mod_h323 in semi-prod (10-15k calls/day).
mod_OPAL was absolutely broken and outdated till 2 or 3 years ago it got 
major update and IIRC even worked (as of fall'15/winter'16) but recent 
tests few days ago completely failed.

Fairly speaking we have one more: mod_ooh323 - based on same lib from 
Objective Systems as Asterisk one. It lives in separate branch.
As of today simple test call worked w/small patch :)

All of underlying libs seems to be abandoned.
