Information

Getting Started
See the FAQ for the aims and targets of this project and a general introduction. Join the mailing list, or download the code. If you want to develop code with OpenH323, then read on how to join the project, and what you will need. A public CVS archive of all OpenH323 code is also available

Here is a list of people and companies who have contributed resources and web space to OpenH323 as well as those working on associated projects. If can think of anyone who should be be listed here, please contact us at [email protected]

We are compiling a list of H.323 clients and other H.323 applications. Please e-mail us if you have any additions or changes.
