Re: Patch: Call Authentication Support

Thanks Simon,

I modded the patch to work nicely with Linux, tried to add it as
another attachment to your patch entry on SF and in the end somehow
managed to add it with the title 'Single patch for Linux Openh323 CVS
version', interesting!! Anyway its a single patch that applies all the
changes to CVS version under linux in one go for those who wish to
test it under Linux.

I don't appear to be able to modify the title now its there or add a
file to someone else's entry so if those admins that do have the perms
want to move it round feel free :-)
