Hi,

Asterisk will work with Packet8, assuming you have access to a G723.1
codec for Asterisk or can manage with Asterisk just passing it
through.

you do need a recent CVS.

Here's my sip.conf entry for Packet8:

[packet8.net]
type=peer
host=packet8.net
fromuser=1234567890
fromdomain=packet8.net

You need to replace the 1234567890 with your "secret number" that you
can obtain from sniffing the DTA traffic.

You'll also want to register:

register => 1234567890 at packet8.net/localexten ; Packet8

Again 1234567890 becomes your local secret number, localexten the
extension you want Packet8 to call.

Calling out through Packet8 is a simple matter of
SIP/number at packet8.net
