You can call us for free support on G.729 if you purchased it from us.
877-LINUX-ME just choose "install support".

I trust you mean "Voiceage" not "Vonage" but in any case neither will
likely be useful.  Definitely should contact us directly.

Not as far as I know.

Yes, again we're trying to get Voiceage to fix the issue, but working with
closed source, slow moving, intellectual property based vendors is
generally a pretty miserable experience.
