Hi everyone,

We are using the IAXy boxes and Asterisk over the internet and I was
wondering if Asterisk can do a codec translation during a call in order
to lower the bandwidth that the comunications consumes?

I mean, the IAXy boxes only support the ADPCM and uLAW codecs, but for a
certain number of calls our bandwidth runs out, then I think if Asterisk
can convert the signal that comes in ADPCM format (the lighter codec out
of these two) to another codec that use less bandwidth to interconect to
another Asterisk Server via IAX2 protocol.

We are trying not to upgrade our 30 internet connections because the
cost of it will be multiplyed by 30 (obiously).

Thanks in advance for all,

Raúl.
