I've two quicknet cards but can not make it work with ijx module. Where can I download your nixj module? will work with kernel 2.6 ? I remember that with the older gnomemeeting the quicknet card was recognized and worked very well with h.323. > What I want to do now is continue to use the one analog wall phone in the > kitchen without > going through the hassle of buying yet another FXS/O? adapter since I already > have one in > my junk box.

I think it is posible using an older gnomemeeting version and installing one pbx like asterisk with chan_h323.so to give the h.323 support.
