[Asterisk-Users] New cvs compile; basic operational question, please.

[Rich Adamson]

Just stumbled across the problem noted in my original post below. I added:
allow=ulaw
allow=ilbc

to sip.conf instead of the recommended 'allow=all' and now all phones work.

Can someone help me understand this?  (It would appear, based on my very much
lack of experience, that * was attempting to set up the conversation using g723,
when all of the phones have 'default=ulaw' definitions. Should I leave the
ulaw definition for future production use, or is this really something that
I did to read/learn more about for a very small office use?)
