[Asterisk-Users] G.729: Typical usage scenarios

[Brian Capouch]

Clicking on the "For more information, click here" link on the Digium 
site nice brings back up the same page I was looking at before, without 
any additional G.729 information that I can see.

I'm wondering if some kind asterisker out there could provide us 
neophytes with some "typical scenarios" where that codec would be useful 
to us.

For instance, I assume that it doesn't gain anything on calls passed out 
to the PSTN?

Do the Cisco ATA186s have any ability to handle this codec?

Perhaps it would be useful if I'm trunking from a FXS port here locally 
to an FXO port that is connected to a remote asterisk server?

Also, is the license "once in a lifetime" for a given channel?

Thanks.
