[Asterisk-Users] Codec G729 no longer works.

[Jason A. Kates]

This is the version reported on startup:
Asterisk 1.2.7.1, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2006 Digium, Inc. and others.

This is the list of packages I downloaded and compiled:
asterisk-1.2.7.1.tar.gz
asterisk-addons-1.2.2.tar.gz
asterisk-sounds-1.2.1.tar.gz
libpri-1.2.2.tar.gz
zaptel-1.2.5.tar.gz

				Thanks -Jason
