> Hi List,
>
> I noticed someone in this list asked how many G.729 codec license he
should purchase for his Asterisk box. I am new to VoIP and Asterisk. Why do
we need to buy codec licenses for th Asterisk? I thought codecs are built
into the SIP phones. If a call is made from one SIP phone to another SIP
phone, shouldn't the codecs inside those two phones take care of things. The
only situation I can think of needing codec license is when a call is make
from a SIP phone through Asterisk to the PSTN network. In that case the
Asterisk box wil handle the codec functions. Am I correct?
